Steve's Work Party

Last Thursday evening we had a very enjoyable dinner with Steve's boss and coworkers at Ruth's Chris. It was delicious! We had steak and lobster and so many appetizers and side dishes. I tried the apple pie tart, too. It was fun getting all dressed up and going out with Steve for the night! And I figure that may be the only time we ever get to go there, so we enjoyed every bite!!

Buttons and Switches Galore!

Steve is in Jacksonville, NC putting together a simulator at the base there. He and Ben are working many hours and things are starting to come together. Here are some pictures of what they are doing and what they have to have working by the end of November!

This is an action shot inside the cockpit of the trainer...
This is where Ben and Steve are living most of the time right now. This is the little box that is like 56 degrees inside. Where Ben is sitting is where the instructor sits during the training...
This is kind of what you see out the window of the trainer. They have all the lights on in this photo and they will only have one projector turned on that is not set up correctly yet. It will look really cool when it is all done....

Some of the knobs and buttons they have to get working. All of these have to work!!...
More buttons and breakers on the ceiling of the helo...
