Snapshot of The Twisters posing with a paratrooper during an airplane show in Panama City, Panama. This wonderful guy walked about 500 feet from where he was (restricted area) just to take the picture with the kids. Of course, they were over the moon.

Morning!
I love airshows. The kids and I probably attended at least one a year while they were growing up and the boys are now taking their kids. I worked in aviation during that time and they caught the “bug”.
The military shows were always the best and I am glad our kids got to meet the people who signed up to protect them. Today is the anniversary of D-Day when so many who signed up gave their lives so we could enjoy what we have.
I love seeing these photos. Thanks, Omar.

Morning Jim and Nena:
Okay, I have good news for you. There is a whole lot of more aviation pictures in the pipeline. All week will be dedicated to this theme. So lay back, relax and enjoy Mr. Jim.
Take Care,

I think the best smile belongs to the paratrooper. He’s clearly a man who doesn’t fuss at this aspect of his job.
Thanks to these gate keepers we can sleep safely at night. They are highly respected in this neck of the woods. His personal demeanor is very eloquent in the picture.
Take Care,
Omar.-
