14&15 October, 2012
Sunday and Monday
The weather is even better today and we don’t have
far to go. After a great and fun air
show yesterday all we have to do today is ride from Culpeper to Fairfax for a
visit with long time Marine friends, The Anderson’s. Since Joe was one of the pilots yesterday,
Marsha will be our guide to their house while Joe takes the Harrier back to its
base.
It’s
about a 60 mile trip and takes a little over an hour. Sunday afternoon traffic is a little heavy at
times but this is the Washington D.C. area.
Marsha
even left the ride side of their garage empty so the Wing had a nice dry place
to park. Late Sunday afternoon it
started to cloud up and Monday the forecast was for rain.
We had a
lovely evening with our friends and on Monday had a tour of the Fairfax county
Sheriff’s air division. One of the
Anderson’s daughter’s is a Fairfax police officer, so she had one of her pals
fix us up with the tour.
Her
friend Tammay gave us a complete tour of
the new Bell 429 helicopter that is especially designed for medical and police
emergencies.
The
changes is technology are absolutely amazing to an “Old” helicopter pilot. Tammay had just used some of the advanced
technology to make an amazing rescue of a seven year old autistic boy who was
lost in a woods. She actually discovered
the child was walking in a stream. It
was a pretty amazing rescue.
It was a
good thing we’d decided to hold up on Monday because the weather would have
been horrible for a Wing ride. It also
gave us a chance to spend the entire day hanging out with two of our very
favorite people and some of their family.
Joe loves to cook and is a bit of a “Foody” and Marsha is also a whiz in
the kitchen, so dinner was really something.
Marsha
working on a vegetable pie and Joe grilling some salmon.
It was a great meal, a great night, and the special
treat was we were joined for dinner by their daughter Jane and granddaughter
Kelly. We don’t get to see them very
often so when we do it’s always special.
It made it hard to leave .
