Daddy's "Okie Derby" airplane race

This morning Daddy and his friend Steve competed in the annual "Okie Derby" air race. It's not really a race for speed, but rather they have to predict their time and fuel burn over a 200+ mile course. The course isn't revealed until the night before. The team that gets closest to their estimates wins! Well Daddy and Mr. Steve did really well. This was their first time competing, and they were only 7 seconds off of their time, and just 0.1 gallons off on their fuel usage! They took second place!

Mr. Steve couldn't make it to the awards banquet, so I got to stand in for him as Daddy got their trophies. Daddy can't wait until I'm big enough to be his copilot! (Maybe next year?)
