HOIME AT LAST
okay camping officially sucks. Did i mention how loud my brother and father are at SNORING!? Sam, you know. imagine my dad x2 and RIGHT NEXT TO YOU ON EITHER SIDE. gawd. But ah well. The planes were FUN! We had to direct them in and like part them and stuff and do all the funky hand signals it was FUN! We also did things like crowd control cause as soon as people see a spinning propellor they have this urge to run at it! yay. So we had to stop them from doing that. And we got to yell at these people who were like trying to cross on this taxiway. There are like all these different sections to the place and you have to cross an active taxiway to get to where we were. There were crosswalks at either end, but still people wanted to use the taxiway so i was like "Sir! Could you please come on this side of the fence. That's an active taxiway! Thanx so much" heh heh. so yessers. and now i'm just DEAD tired. but it was fun for the most part. I got a ton of signitures because there are some SERIOUSLY famous people there. Harrison Ford was there but not on the days I was :( Travolta didn't show! UP HIS! lol. but i got people like Bud Anderson, Jack Roush, General Olds, Reggie Urshler, and many more. That will mean nothing to most of you but if you know your flying P51 WWII stuff it will mean a TON. Chuck Yeager didn't show for the first time. I heard everyone at Oshkosh hates him cause he's such an arrogant prick. Hahaha and he's like a total womanizer. but they're all sexist so whatever. Dude, officially Sean Tucker and Patty Wagstaff are THE coolest people EVER! I didn't meet them but oh well. I watched them. And I saw Proteus, and the White Knight fly. This is something you guys should know. There is this competition called the X-Prize. What you have to do is create a plane that can carry passengers just like any other adn go into space. Land, safely and repeat the trip again in two weeks. This is the beginning of civilian space travel. I was litterally within touching distance, and I got to see it fly. The P-51 Mustang was a fighter plane in WWII and that was mainly what i was working with. What was cool was that the Mustang the car was tied to the mustang the plane. So, Rhonda (our head) like parked her mustang in with the planes. When these people told her she'd have to move it, Edson Ford said "I like it there" and they said "Yes Sir" Edson Ford is Henry Ford's grandson. He remembers driving around with "grandpa" and Thomas Edison!!!!!!!! GEEZ! He even has a car named after him. So yeah, but get this. Carrol Shelby shows up in a mustang. For those who don't know who carol shelby is- he's like the GREATEST car designer in the world!!! He like is almost dead. But have you eva heard of teh Shelby Mustang. Or the Shelby this Shelby that whatever! I saw him. My brother went up and shook his hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's BIG. but yeah.
Last thing. We had these two British guys on our Volunteer team. They were SO cooL!!!!!!!!!!! Alec, and Steve. Alec, one night was like (with the accent)"Maggie, will you tell Rhonda I'm going to have a shower, I'm a bit hummy" and i was like sure. lol. Then when someone showed him their REALLY COOL watch he's like "Geez, you're a bit of a Flash Cow aren't you?" THen he laughed. I asked him what it meant and he said show off. So, possible band name? Flash Cow or Showoff?
lovelove i'm tired and sick of typing
