Grandma and Grandpa sure do love lavishing attention on me! I got to meet their dog, Shadow, too. Shadow was very nice and didn't mind me at all.
They also bought me a really cool new toy! I'm a little young to use it now, but Daddy thought it looked like a lot of fun too. It's a Mickey Mouse airplane with real engine sounds and blinking lights and music! Somehow I think Grandma bought it more for Daddy than for me! Here's what Daddy has to say about it:
"It appears to be a tri-motor design, reminiscent of the familiar Ford Tri-Motor of the 1920's and 30's. However, it is unusual in that the outboard propellers are significantly smaller than those of the center engine, suggesting a commensurately smaller engine size on the wings. Instrumentation consists of some basic Visual Flight Rules components - altimeter, compass, and artificial horizon. Seems to be without an airspeed indicator. Also of note is the unusual landing gear configuration, a fixed-gear, four wheel system that has only seen use in the occasional "flying car" designs of the 1950's and 60's. However, in spite of the unusual design, the airplane has all the basic components (engine, propeller, wings, horizontal and vertical stabilizers), and I see nothing preventing a successful first flight once the pilot is properly trained and qualified in such multi-engine aircraft."
I'm still trying to figure out Grandpa!
