Katie's field trip to Peterson Air Force Base

 
Hurricane and his handler.  Hurricane (cane for short) is one of the "bomb" dogs at Peterson.  He is four years old. . . and is a very good listener much better than my four year old, but then again cane is allowed to bite.  Katie's class and the other preschool class' at the community center watched as Cane and his handler demonstrated the commands used in Cane's job.  One of which was biting a fleeing suspect.  Cane was very cute, but I would not want to be on the receiving side to his bite.  Here are some of the pictures of the demonstration.
 
The other tour that they had was one for the search and rescue planes that are located on Peterson.  It is one of several locations through out Colorado.  The planes are used to find missing persons that are lost in the many different landscapes of Colorado and surrounding states.  While we were there a call was made for a mission that was to go out this afternoon to look for a missing person up north somewhere.  Last year they found and saved 11 people.  The kids got to see the planes and watch a few of the bigger Air Force planes take off and land.  Sorry no pictures of that no photography allowed on the flight line.  But here are some of them in the hanger.  Enjoy!

The one above is Katie eating snack with some of her classmates before we headed out to the buses to go home.  Pretty fun day.  Can't believe I am registering her for Kindergarten next week.  Crazy!!
