F-18 Fighter Jets

We went to check out Lemoore, CA. Where is Lemoore, CA you might ask? It's about 35 miles south of Fresno, in between highway 99 and I-5. It also happens to be the location of a Naval Air Station. We're considering Lemoore as a possible option as our placement with the Navy. Unfortunately, the final decision is not in our hands. We decided to check it out while we were in CA so we could see what we were trying to get ourselves into. The experience didn't start out very well but as evidenced by the pictures below, it didn't end too bad. After wandering around the base fairly aimlessly, we finally went to talk to the optometrists stationed there. One happened to be the aerospace optometrist and got Brent all excited. After 2 hours of chatting, he asked if we wanted to check out some of the planes. There was no way I could say no after seeing Brent's whole face light up. He didn't get to go flying, but he did get to sit in the cockpit.
