This may sound egotistical, but I am by far the coolest dad at my
kid's school.. I go on every field trip and school event, have missed
ONE basketball game since my daughter began playing on the team and am
on a 1st name basis with ALL the soccer moms and school staff.. 2
weeks ago I bought my son his 1st 4wheeler (ATV) and have been
teaching him how to ride almost every night after work..

Yesterday was a big deposit into the "Cool Dad" bucket.. I took my 11
year old daughter for a ride in a helicopter.

I mostly lurk here, but I had to respond to this one. That is one of the
koolest stories I have read in years. The CRQ - F70 trip sounds
interesting. I live in the SD area, and have driven the trip a couple of
time, but have never flown it. As an aside, all my helo time is crew in
UH-1Ns in the 70s in Maine.
