Danny& I were given tickets to attend the Air Show today at the Shelby County Airport. We got there around 10:45 am and it was \~HOT~/!! We walked around to all the boths and I got all kinds of free stuff (pencils, pens, rulers, calculator, Channel 42 News coffee mug, pencil sharpener, little hand-held fan, tootsie rolls and a couple Christian bracelets). Then we walked over to look at all the antique cars, found a shaded spot for our chairs ate a italian sausage (4 me) a hotdog (4 Danny) and waited for the Air-show to begin.
While sitting there we watched the planes taking off that were taking passengers up for a birds-eye view. As the last plane took up in the air Danny noticed a little boy waving from the plane to somebody down in the crowd, which was probably his Mom. We found out later that it was the plane that crashed at the end of the runway, killing the little 11 year old boy, his Dad and the pilot. We didn't see it go down ourselves because of the way we had our chairs facing. My heart goes out to the families. I can't imagine what the Mother to this little boy is going through; losing her husband and son while watching. So tragic!!
I have the article about the crash posted below.
