Executive Airlift Experience

So Phil's current job involves some sort of paperwork and budgeting for some pretty neat airplanes.  He takes care of what the the Air Force calls the "Operational Support Airlift" and "Executive Airlift" fleet.  These are the pretty blue and white airplanes you often see important government folks riding around on the news.  There's some neat perks to that -- like the special friends and family day at Andrews Air Force Base.  The family got a chance to see the airplanes up close, check out the Vice President's and Secretary of State's cabin and desk, and see what a 'nice' Air Force jet really looks like.  Quite a difference from all of our space-available travel experiences!

They also had a few other aircraft from the base out to visit.  Phil might not be flying, but we keep the aviation experience close!
