Default Finally!

I've waited nearly 3 years for this day, and so has the Little Man.

Over the course of the last few months, every time I've left the house on a
Sunday to go fly, the Little Man has known where I was going and would say
in a small, plaintive tone, "I need to go fly with Papa."
There is no greater heartbreak for a pilot to bear than hearing those words
coming from a future birdman.

But today...today, for the very first time, we got to sit side by side as
Pilot and Co-pilot, (with Mommy in back as our somewhat reluctant
passenger), while we flew from Gainesville, Georgia to Toccoa, Georgia. Once
we leveled off, my intrepid and fearless Co-pilot took the yoke and flew
unerringly straight to our destination.

There we landed and lunched on peanut butter sandwiches and Coca-Colas,
which Mommy would revisit just before we landed back at Gainesville. :-O

I did have to caution my Co-pilot at one point during our return flight
however, when he kept pressing the push-to-talk button without my knowledge,
causing me much confusion and sending me looking for the loose headset
connection.

Our next anticipated milestone: no passengers, just us Birdmen
