Luke AFB

Last Friday Emma and I had the opportunity to go to Luke AFB and take a tour. I wasn't able to take pictures in a lot of the places we went, but let me tell you it was a great time. We started out by going to the tower. We got to watch some F-16s take off from inside the tower and then we made our way out onto the catwalk to see even more. Emma loved watching the planes take off and the roar of the jet engines.

After that, we went to the flight line and got to see the F-16s up close. As we were wrapping up, some of the planes were returning from flights and taxied right by us. Emma did not appreciate them showing up because it meant she had to put ear protection on and the muffs were way too big for her. As you can see in the picture below, she was less than thrilled.

Here's the pilot of one of the passing planes saying hi.

After the flight line we had some lunch and then checked out the loading area where they put the weapons on the planes. Emma was wiped out by then and I think she was grateful to get back to the car and pass out.
