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

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.
