Hard to believe it'll be 5 weeks already since Umiko came into our world.  Time flies!  I can only stop time with my camera so I'm planning to stop it many, many more times.

My plan during delivery was to take photos from afar.  That didn't last long though.  Once the major pushing began, I got yelled at by the nurse, "hey photographer, daddy!  Put it down and grab a leg!"  Grabbed my wife's leg while the nurse held her other leg.  Almost two hours of pushing later, Umiko came out wide eyed and screaming.  Best scream I've ever heard.

Happy 75 years!

Lots of fully restored planes on display and hangars are open so visitors can see some of the restoration process also.  If you're really adventurous, some of the planes are available for flights to the public.

Don't lose hope!  It may have been picked up by a good samaritan and they've been looking for you through this site.

I Found Your Camera

Good luck!
