Meeting REAL Pilots!

Lucas is still infatuated with flying, airplanes and pilots...especially girl pilots just like "Vanessa" on his Bee Movie. Last week, we went to a BBQ to see our friends who were in town visiting from South Carolina. They are both currently C-17 pilots in the Air Force. Eric and Heidi Buchiet spent dinner talking to Lucas about flying. It was mostly Lucas telling them how to turn on the engines, how to take off and what the wind sock should look like and which buttons to push in the cockpit. He's the true expert according to Lucas Anderson!What made this event even more exciting was the fact that he got to see Heidi and Eric do a fly over the U.S. Air Force Academy about a month ago. It was very exciting and came all together when he finally met them. I think for the first few minutes he thought we were crazy and just making up stories...Heidi and Eric looked like everyone else and were not in pilot uniforms. After awhile he just decided it was true. As you can see, he loves Heidi! It was sure fun to catch up with old friends and watch Lucas interact with them.
