Jacksonville, Florida
February 22, 2008
Shelia, Antoine and I (Calvin) went to Florida in February to attend Jonathan's Naval Winging ceremony at the Naval Station in Jacksonville. The pictures on this web page are from that trip.
This is Jonathan and Shelly's parakeet sitting on his
favorite perch. Keet is his name.
Keet with Antoine, best of friends.
Following Jonathan and Shelly from their apartment to
the base.
I guess just read the sign- and figure out where we are
:)
At the base entrance, waiting for a pass, watching a plane
like what Jonathan flies in, landing.

Picnic on base, on a river I believe, not bad weather
for February.
There is a collection of old planes on base at "Patriot's
Grove"

Three more of these planes outside the hanger, on the
run way.

Jonathan at his duty station on the plane- when we climbed
up and toured the plane.
For those who are wondering - the planes are not handicap
accessible-
But Antoine did "climb" the ladder and toured the plane
too.
George and Helen Jatko at Jonathan and Shelly's apartment.
They toured the plane in the morning too.
The ceremony was in the afternoon.

Grip and grin time!

Just a glimpse of the temperature, the day of the ceremony-
remember February 22nd.
