Airshow!!!

Today is the first ever Border to Border Airshow at Douglas Municipal Airport in town! I'm very excited about it. All the proceeds go to the Cochise College Aviation Dept. Admission is free, but there's a carnival and food and stuff that costs money. I'm hoping for a really good turnout, not because of the proceeds going to my program, but because I'm hoping that a good turnout will mean another airshow in Douglas next year. There are 2 good reasons why the numbers today might be a little low. First, there's also an airshow at Davis Monthan in Tucson. It's a military airshow, so they've got bigger, louder planes (I think the Blue Angels are supposed to be there, but don't quote me). And second, Spring Break was this past week, and it seems like many of the Cochise students haven't gotten back into town yet. Reckon all we can do is wait and see.

Oh, and Cochise College Aviation Dept has a booth and a plane at the airshow today, and Sally (the glue that holds the department together) said I could probably go hang out in the booth for a while, since it would be good to have prospective students talk to actual students. Sweet!

Here's some stuff I couldn't quite manage to fit into the body of the post: There might be carne asada for sale at the airshow, and we're really excited about that, too. We like carne asada. Our new friends from Sierra Vista, Chris and Jennifer, are coming out to see the airshow with us. The Douglas Municipal Airport was the first international airport in the United States, and it was dedicated by Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart. I think that's all.
