“Here come the planes……..they’re American planes. Made in America…” That’s how Laurie Anderson sings it in “O Superman” anyway. My little boys, particularly my 2 yr old, love anything mechanical. PJ loves watching airplanes land and take off, so I decided to take him to my favorite spot. This is where, if the wind is right, planes come really close overhead while landing. I had my camera bag, of course, so I grabbed my wide angle lens and used a fill flash to document his encounter with the jet.

He was actually scared as it went overhead, which was surprising because he hasn’t been before, but then asked for “one more airplane” after it had passed. His 1 yr old brother took it all in stride, and gave me a bonus when he started to say “Daddy!” for the first time, and kept saying it as we drove around in the truck. What a summer this is going to be!
