Prior to taking my grand son up we did two things. First we went out
to airport and watched birds taking off and landing and he heard the
noise and saw what was happening.

We also played with his toy airplane and did all the things a boy does
with a toy airplane and emulated what he saw.

When we got airborne I sat him on my lap and let hem fly just like he
did with his toy airplane and me telling him what to do..

Loved the flight and didn't want to land. G

I have a friend who really wants me to take he & his two boys up- they
are 3 & 5. I am worried about them "freaking out"- especially the
little one. They have never flown before (commercially or otherwise).

Of course they need to be in back of the 172, which would make it
difficult for my friend to reassure them, etc.

I'm especially concerned about the younger one for the obvious reason
that 3 is pretty young. To the folks that have a lot of experience
taking up little kids- what are the rough odds that he'll be just fine
vs. having a cow? I need to decide if I should suggest that this isn't
a great idea or not. TIA.
