Top Gun
Rilz has been enlisted by the Navy into an elite pre-potty-training league of future fighter pilots. Our dear friend Johan -- woodworker extraordinaire -- designed our little Top Gun's training jet in a hidden government facility and delivered it this weekend along with a set of Top Secret training documents.
Given the handle "Wild Riley," the boy embraced his call to duty.
He bounced all around his giant F-35C "rocking jet," steered the joystick and examined the control panel (note the photo of mom and dad who will watch over all his flights).
First mission: Pick up Maverick and Goose, buzz by Cal to show off the Berkeley colors and start training for the Blue Angels' 2032 San Francisco show.
"TransAmerica Tower, this is Wild Riley requesting a flyby."
"Negative, Wild Riley. The pattern is full."
Don't worry, Rilz, you'll get your shot. You can be my wingman any time.

ReplyDeleteYou said it. My fears of Riley wanting to become a pilot some day quadrupled overnight. Not my little baby! (Lost cause -- I know!).
ReplyDeleteI hope all the kids will have fun with this thing for years to come. Johan said some 8-year-olds in his neighborhood tested it out and loved it.
