Air Show - LAFB!

Sunday in Newport News, VA


I know that guy!

He's my brother.

"Rev" pulls onto the base in his Jeep Wrangler for a day at the office, and his first airshow.

Cousin John tries on the USAF's state-of-the-art, $100,000, gold-lined, HUD helmet.

Rev buzzes the British Royal Air Force.

As he flashes before the grandstand the Hassell men leap to their feet.  We scream in unison, "That's my brother!"  "That's my cousin!"  "That's my nephew!"  "That's my son!"

In a four-ship formation, they buzz beneath a skydiver toting a massive American flag.  Whew!  I'm one proud brother.  If you want your daily dose of abundant life, see his blog.
