Eight year old kid in the back seat......

[Tom Callahan]

We watched the pilot and passenger suit up for this flight home after the
airshow. If that kid in the backseat isn't flying in competition in a few
years then I'm a monkey's uncle, Tom

Lucky little SOB. I wish my Daddy had been rich.

I would be concerned that the safety systems are not engineered for someone
the size and weight of an eight-year-old. If Daddy has to check out of the
office, Junior is going to be mangled.

But, Hell yes, I would have loved to have had a ride in one of those at his
age.

The kid was really cute. A blonde, he was wearing a Blue Angel flight suit
(sold in the musuem) and had good safety awareness on the ramp. The
aircraft had been on static display during the airshow. It was parked with
the T-38s used for U-2 training and the Yaks, Tom

Any chance of pictures of the kid? I'd love to see the expression on his
face.

No, I just got the photo of him standing next to the aircraft. Safety was
more important than me climbing up the side of the aircraft. I try to not
be intrusive when they are fueling and starting engines, Tom
