In 24 hours the video has gone viral online with over 4.5 million views and 15 thousand-plus shares. After watching this adorable 10-second video a few dozen times we reached out to Sandra to hear the full story behind this viral video.

A flight traveling from Houston to Gulfport made an emergency landing at the Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT).

The next step in improvements at the Lafayette Regional Airport began today as contractors brought in the big guns.

Lafayette's Greg Leblanc was so close to this monstrous C-17 plane yesterday that you can almost see what color the pilot's eye are!

In recent weeks, massive plane sightings have become a frequent occurrence around Acadiana. In the past couple of days, there has been a military plane conducting exercises in the area and the people of Lafayette have made sure to get their cameras out this time.

Airport Director Steven Picou says they will continue to pursue other opportunities.
