Well, Today (Sunday November 7) I went to Sikeston with a good friend of mine (pictured here) to eat at Lambert's. This is Alex working on the flight plan to Sikeston, Mo.

We departed John Tune Airport in Nashville, TN and headed to Union City to pick up Alex's sister.

This is Chelsea on her first flight in a "small" airplane.... She doesn't seem that scared.

Here Alex is flying the airplane, but manages to break away from the ordeal of flying to pose for a picture. Say cheese Alex!

And here I am, the co-pilot flying to Union City then onto Sikeston... OK, so I wasn't REALLY a co-pilot, but I am a pilot and I was flyiing Right seat for this leg of the trip!

Here we are in Union City about to board and take off to head off to Sikeston, MO. There's Alex, Me, Chelsea, and Alex's sister, Maryna.

On our way to Sikeston, we met up with Joey.

Here is Alex and Maryna's father's (Captain Steve) Ferry on the Mississippi River. He had a radio and could talk with us as we flew around his ferry.

When we got to Sikeston, Alex pointed out this sticker on the water fountain in the terminal of the airport. It was so random I had to take a picture of it. Drink at your own risk!

And here's what we've all been waiting for! LAMBERT'S! Home of the Throwed Rolls!

Here we all are eating at Lambert's! Its an AWESOME place to go!

Chelsea is in disbelief that her BBQ Ribs were THAT BIG! "I've got to eat THAT?!"

Here's Joey sitting on our wing.

Here's Joey and Alex refueling our plane to head back to Murfreesboro, TN. Well, I should say Alex is refueling and Joey is just sitting on the wing.

One last group shot of us all at Sikeston, MO airport. From left to right: Joey, Maryna, Me, Alex, Argie, Chelsea, Randall, Jack, and Tom.

While flying back we flew in a group over the Ferry. This is Randall following us.

Here is Tom next to us.

This picture is of Randall (Closest to us and on the right) and Joey (behind Randall and on the left).

Here is Argie and Jack in a Diamand DA-20. I think this was the best picture I took during the flight. Gotta love the telephoto lense!

This is the TN, River at sunset.

Here is Tom flying on our left.

Another picture of Tom's airplane off our left wing. (Plenty of seperation!)

And finally. A sunset over Tennessee. It was a BEAUTIFUL day to fly! This is why I fly! What a view! Good friends, Good food, and Good times!

This has nothing to do with going to Sikeston, but I've been debating whether or not to put this picture up. I took this picture while interning at MEM this past summer. What a lucky shot!

This was my Halloween Costume (The handsome devil in the middle is me). This is my Area Coordinator (Boss) Drew on the right and another Resident Assistant (Joey) on the left.

This began my Trip to Honolulu for Fall Break. This is the DC-10 that I flew on from MSP to HNL.

This is the view from my seat. I fortunately had the hole row to myself.

This is the view of the Rocky Mountains... I had neve seen REAL mountains... Now I want too!!!! (Note: photo was enhanced using Picasa)

Another view of Mountains from the plane (Again enhanced)

And here she is... Honolulu herself! I finally made it after a 7.5 hour flight from MSP.

Here is Pearl Harbor on final approach into Honolulu Int'l.



This is the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. I was at the vistors station when I took this picture.

I thought this was a fitting picture. To the right you see the U.S.S. Arizona, which sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor which began World War II. On the left is the U.S.S. Missouri which had the signing of the peace agreement between the U.S. and Japan ending World War II. So in this one shot I have both the beginning and end of World War II.

A closer view of the U.S.S. Missouri.

This is the U.S.S. Tennessee's mooring platform which was used before World War II (Me being from Tennessee I had to take this picture).

Here is one of the tears from the U.S.S. Arizona. She is still leaking oil after 60 years of sitting on the bottom of the harbor. It was really a moving sight.

Another shot of the U.S.S. Arizona.

Someone let flowers go int he water to honor the fallen sailors during the attack. Some of the washed up onto this part of the Arizona.

This is the U.S.S. Arizona's anchor. As you can see its HUGE. Of course I'm small (only 4'8) but this thing is more than twice my height. The force of the explosion of the Arizona through this anchor several hundred yards away.

And here is the main guns of the U.S.S. Missouri. If you look close, in the background you can see three Los Angeles Class Submarines at dock. This happens to be the last picture from Peal Harbor (not by choice but b/c my old hard drive lossed the rest of them. So I will attempt to tell you what was lost. I took a picture of the place where the war ended on board the U.S.S. Missouri. I also took pictures inside the Missouri and from the Missouri to Pearl Harbor. Oh well, their gone... I guess this means I'll just have to go back and see it again.)

And last but certainly not least. This is inside the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. This is all the names of people who died on board the Arizona during the attack on Pearl Harbor.
