Air Show that ends with a Plane Crash and Prayer

March 14, 2011 Lana

This past Saturday, we attended a local air show.  We attended last year and we were excited to have my hubby’s parents join us for this one!

Storm Troopers The first thing we ran into were Storm Troopers.  My kids love Star Wars!   Princess My princess sporting a new hat!IMG_5613 My hubby – notice the sparkle in his eyes when he looks at me.  Ha!D and G This is his Dad and Mom…they are too precious!  We are sad to see them leave us this week.  Sometimes it just stinks that we live so far away from family!

Some of the Planes in ActionPlane Plane 2 My eldest enjoying the view He still wants to design planes.Pilot with my Lil' Man Here is my Lil’ Man with the pilot and his plane. 

Then we got to tour a plane…Going on board Going on board…Wine Rack The Wine Rack…ER Exit “Mom – What does this button do?”  “Umm…don’t push it!”IMG_5629 “Look Mom! Video Games!”  “Yes, dear – million dollar video games!”My fashion Princess “Who designs this – what ugly colors” – the Princess thinksLil' Princess Navigating This Princess is wanting to add some flowers…she is very artistic.  Buttons Buttons Buttons Bombs AWAY “Mom – do any of these buttons make the bomb go off?”  At this point, none of the soldiers told them not to push anything so I’m pretty sure they have them disconnected.  I can just imagine…the people underneath the plane were dodging bullets if someone forgot to disable the one red button…  Typewriter “Look Mom – an old fashion computer!”  “Umm…some people would call that a typewriter.” 

Sigh…I’m old.

Then we head into the cockpit.  My kids are allowed to go crazy.  The pilots let them push every button in there.Cockpit Communicating with Radio TowerWorking on her communication skills…  Future Pilot He loves planes!  Then my fave Mommy moment…Mommy Moment My Lil’ guy yells “MOM – I have to go to the BATHROOOOM NOW!” 

Don’t you love little bladders?

We rush out of the plane…and Daddy takes him to the famous Blue Outhouses…aka porty-potties.

We then take some silly picts…Silly kids Silly Crazy KIDS They really love their Mommy! Kids that need a nap! 

Everything was going normal and the stunt show happened.

Something happened to one of the stunt planes and it went down in some trees at the end of the runway.

We saw it and really thought it was part of the act. We had no idea until the announcer told everyone “Stay calm, the plane went down and emergency crews were on their way!”

My Son

I was so proud of my eldest…he closed his eyes and started praying.  He had no idea I was watching.  I was too stunned to say anything.  It was really surreal.  Then we saw a puff a smoke. 

The whole time the announcer was trying to keep peace and order.  I have a feeling a lot of people were praying and asking the Lord to keep them safe.Daddy and Daughter Moment

The announcer finally said that the wife and the pilot were in “good” condition.  The man behind us shouted “Thank you Jesus Christ!”  You could feel the relief in the crowd.

We later found out they were flown to a San Antonio hospital and have 60 to 70 percent burns on their bodies.  They are still needing prayers.

After that they postponed the show until the next day.  Except for the flyover from the B-2!

B-2 here it comes B2 almost here... B2 Closer B2 right over us Bye Bye B2

This day was one that is sure to be remembered by my children for years to come. 

Blessings to you!  You are loved!

    I heard about this on the news. I can’t believe you were there. Wow. My heart was so sad for the burn victims and their families. I keep thinking of Nie Nie and her life. God is good in all things. Lisa~

    Through tears my daughter I am making this comment. You and hubby have poured so much into our grandbabies, keep pouring. The proof came when our eldest grandson began to pray. May God continue to place you all right where He designs you to be. Thanks be to God for the prayers of a child and parents who disciple their children. Thank you for doing such a great job. So glad you got to spend that time with family, what a treasure. Love to all, Grandma.

May the LORD bless you and keep you; May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He turn His face toward you and give you peace. Feel free to leave a comment - we LOVE to hear your thoughts! ~Blessings to you!~ ~You are so loved!~ ~Lana (Like Banana)~
