J was part of a Presidential support mission. His crew staged out of Andrews AFB in Washington D.C. and flew between there and Rio, Brazil. During his stay in D.C. J's parents were able to drive down and meet him. They went out for a big birthday dinner for his Dad on Sunday and got in some sightseeing as well. Here are the D.C. pictures.
The WWII Memorial
What a handsome guy ;-)
A sight you don't see every day: the reflecting pool empty! It was drained for repair work.
Sheppard's pie in honor of St. Patty's day. J said that mine was better.
It's hard to read it on here I know, but this is a list of all the campaigns that USAF has been involved in. J has participated in the last two, Afghanistan Campaign (2001- ) and Iraq Campaign (2003- ).
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (One of our favorite places in D.C.)
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Halfway up the mountain
Looking back down at the city
A crazy airport!
A chapel by the statue
A giant salt water lake
Views of the beach from one of the hotel's they stayed at. If you look closely you will see two small dots (helicopters) one of which is the Presidential helicopter practicing. J's crew flew that down to Brazil on their plane!
J said there were many of these sand scenes along the beach
A big mall the guys visited.
