Life Flight Helicopter & Airport Fire Truck Tour

 Ryan and I went on a tour of the airport this morning.  We got to watch the Life Flight helicopter take off and then learn about the airport fire truck.
 We were supposed to get to look inside the helicopter, but right before the tour was to start they got a call that an ambulance was on the way.  The kids all moved back and waited while the patient was loaded and then we got to watch it take off for the hospital.
 The airport fire truck was very cool.  We learned about why it's bright green instead of red (so it can easily be seen in all terrain).  We also learned that it has much much larger tires so it can travel over large hills and rough terrain.
