Whenever I can, when I go flying I take my 5 year old daughter with
me. She really likes to fly and is quite interested so I was wondering
if there were some kind of club she could join (kind-of AOPA jr) or,
if not, whether there would be any interest in one if one were
started. I was thinking maybe a regular magazine with puzzles,
articles and stories aimed at a younger audience.

Thoughts?


I have a son that turns 10 in a month. He also has an interest in aviation.
I have searched the internet and all that I can come up with is the EAA kids
programs.

The only thing that I see in the EAA, is an introductory flight for the
kids. My son has already flown, so that wouldn't be of interest. They have
the kids (or youth) camp, but you have to be 12 or older. I really don't see
anything on the EAA website for a 10 year old that has already flown before.

If you decide to get something going, let me know. I would be interested. I
don't really know what I could do, but I would be willing to help if I
could, but either way, I would like to get my son involved in aviation.

About a year ago, I got ahold of a Sporty's DVD that my son watched and took
the test after each chapter. Really surprised me how well he did. He missed
one or maybe two questions out of each category.

Before it got too hot, we would hop in the truck and find an airport to hang
out at for several hours. He had a blast watching the planes and can point
out some of the different planes now.
