Last January, I had the chance to attend the commissioning ceremony for our latest aircraft carrier, the USS George H. W. Bush with a dear friend. Since I was horribly neglecting my poor photo blog, I never posted the photos. I've used them on the Blue Star Families website quite a bit, but failed to share them here. But hey, almost a year later isn't too late, is it?
A flyover in honor of President George H.W. Bush's (#40) Navy flying days.
The Commander-in-Chief's flag indicates that the President is on board. It was raised immediately after #42 arrived.
Marine One takes off with #42.
Mrs. Laura Bush departs.
Number 40 and Mrs. Barbara Bush depart.
