We took our hand held radio and listened to the frequency 122.70 and was able to listen to Paul on the radio. The kids love to hear daddy's voice. If we have the radio then we able to know what runway and what direction he will be taking off so we can get the best pictures.
The first flight was at 9:20 and we were not in a good location to see him take off. So we waited until he landed to get some good pictures. While we waited we went to a locate sandwich and ice cream shop for a treat. We also watched the sky divers!
At about 11:30 we watched him land and taxi back to the ramp. We were also able to meet him in the terminal and see him pick up his next tour group. We then "followed" him to the airplane (from the other side of the fence). Paul is the FO (First Officer) and they take a picture with all the passengers while the Captain is doing the pre-flight on the airplane. We watched the ramp agent to give him the signs to taxi to the runway. We jumped into the car and then watched his take off and enter the traffic pattern as he headed east toward the Grand Canyon.
Paul has worked so hard to get to be where he is today. I have meet a few of the other pilots and their wives and I know they think I'm a little over the top! (I know it's true) but I have had the opportunity to be married to Paul from the very beginning. I have supported him and make my own sacrifices to get us to where we are today. It's sill only the beginning of his flying career but its been a fun ride! I want pictures and I want to continue to be apart of his flying goals. I remember that first solo flight 5.5 years ago, and I was there at the airport taking pictures!
