Friends in High Places

It is no secret Lincoln has a love of airplanes. Seeing an airplane from a distance whether it is in the air or on the ground is always exciting for him.  On a daily basis, we go looking for airplanes and choppers.  There's a small little airport near our house.  We see airplanes fly overhead a lot, but we rarely see them on taking off.

Lincoln was in for a treat when our longtime family friend, DJ, invited us to visit him at the Pontiac Airport where he flies out of.  DJ has been working at the airport for about 5 years now, and we've wanted to take Lincoln there for awhile now so he could see the planes up close and personal.


DJ showed us around the hangar and the planes he flies.  DJ flies freight, a private plane and even organs sometimes.



You probably can't see it, but Kirk and DJ are sitting in the cockpit.  Speaking of Kirk: I think Kirk had just as much, if not more fun, than Lincoln.  Lincoln was a little scared of the planes, but Kirk was in heaven.  He loved it!



After some coaxing, we were able to get Lincoln to go into the planes.  The plane is open in the back to store the cargo.  DJ brought Lincoln to the back of the plane and he ran around.


We are hoping to go back again, maybe in the spring, when Lincoln is a little older and won't be as hesitant to do explore the planes some more.

We can't thank DJ enough. So cool!
