Mom's Out There

I spent a lot of time over at MySpace yesterday...don't know why...LOL....




Well, actually I do...Hee hee...I found Milo Ventimiglia's myspace page...and there he had a blog post about how he got to fly in a F16 (Click to see the clip). He has always wanted to fly in one and finally got the chance. He was going to join the Air Force back in the day but decided to act instead...thank god. If he didn't I wouldn't be able to drool over him every week!!

But it's made me want to tell you my story...actually it's a little like his!! Which is really weird.

I watched Top Gun when I was a kid....it came out when I was like 11. I remember watching it over and over. I loved the sound that the planes made...(and I still do...I hear planes flying everyday...we live in a flight path...sometimes they get so low and our windows start rattling!!!)...but anyways. I really wanted to fly those planes! My dad brought me to air shows and my passion for planes just became worse. So finally in Grade 8 I made the decision, I would join the Air Force and learn how to fly those planes. I talked to my stepuncle who was in the Navy and he said that because I was a girl I would never fly in combat. (That was a LONG time agO!!!) I was mad at that...why would I learn to fly those planes and never get to use them?? So I decided to not go through with it....

I think about sometimes how I should have went through with it...it would be amazing to sit in those planes and fly...fly FAST!!!
