The F-22 Raptor

Now Jason is probably the most ingenious one of us siblings. He can pretty much make anything happen that he puts his mind to. From organizing a Jamboree, to getting on military ships, to almost killing Dad on a mountain, the guy can do just about anything. So when I am able to say that I have doen something he hasn't (yet) I am going to scream it to the world.


I TOUCHED A RAPTOR!!!!









After being to the Air Show and seeing the arsenal that our country has to defend itself. Not to mention meeting some of the men and women who have made it their responsibility to let us sleep easy at night. These are not people I would ever want to cross blades with. This is the type of stuff that makes America beautiful.

The Air Show

At the Air Show they had this exhibitor called the Virtual Army Experience. We stood in line for 2 hours (Greg and I) and then when we got in, after we gave all our information so that we can be unsuccessfully recruited for the next year, they gave us a mission briefing. Greg, me and about 12 others were on an aid mission to escort supplies through a hostile village.
This thing was frickin awesome, You go into this huge dome tent and they have 3 Hummers set up with 7 gun posts on each, and a life size Black Hawk Helicopter with 4 gun mounts.
each one has 180 screen in front of it and you go through on a mission through this hostile town. This was a crazy awesome experience, and i completely owned, the guys in the helicopter got pissed cause i didnt leave them anyone to kill.
