Default Edinburgh Open Day

My wifes work place had a open day today which we took the kids to see what and where mum works. It was very private as it was only for employees and families. Probably about 4-500 in total and we were allowed to take pictures.
1. One of the F18 Hornets Simone works on.
2. Picture of the 20mm machine gun in the nose.
3. F111
4. Me and my kids (Alex & Andrew)in front of the F111
5. Back of the F111

1. Andrew in the cockpit of a P3 .
2. PC9
3. Alex in the PC9
4.They have an inside firing range which is computer generated and the guns are a 9mm pistol and the Steyr rifle. We were lucky enough to shoot them. My little boy thought it was Xmas to shoot a gun. They are connected to air which gives you an assimilated recoil effect.
5. Andrew having 6 shots of a 9mm

1. Me and Andrew shooting the Steyr
2. Simone and the 9mm
3. Another shot of the 20mm gun in the nose of a F18
4. Cockpit of the F18
5. Sidewinder Missile
All in all it was a great day with a flight display from the Roulettes and the hornet. Our house is on the boundary of the RAAF base so we're lucky to see this type of display nearly every day, in fact we are on the flight path so they get down to about 200' above our house pretty often when they practice. Some would hate it but not us and it takes Simone all of 5 mins to get to work
