Awesome, your sister is so cool! 🤩
Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base
This is where my sister works! This base has practically every branch working here - except space. Those three helios (helicopters) are marines and they seat two people (they are big but they are of the smaller size believe it or not!) And yes, there are fighter jets and there are two big boys (Boeing C-17) sitting way back there but you may not see them in the photo. We did approach the helios (snapped a picture of one which was given the number 14) but couldn’t stay long due to risk getting into trouble.
There isn’t much activity going on (we did walk in on her two friends just chilling, one eating a ice pop) on base so, no landings today. We did walk threw a hanger of her shop and I saw three birds (thats what planes are called and they are F-18s) chilling in the back. Sis says they are under some kind of maintenance. She doesn’t necessarily work on the birds: she directs them. Yep! She’ll be on the field directing the helios to land or take off and direct birds to the runway.

She even shown me (the bones at least lol) of their next Mardi Gras float - designed after the USS Constitution. She designed it and the guy snacking on the ice pop is helping her build it. Yes, just those two. It will be awesome when it gets done!
It was cool seeing her base and where she worked.
Very interesting 🤔
