Our son's first flight lesson

Still, despite all this...I'm terrified. Letting -- no, encouraging
-- my boy to launch himself into the wild blue yonder is weighing
heavily on my soul, and -- as much as I desperately want him to know
the freedom of flight -- this is really scary.

I don't think anyone will be doing much sleeping tonight...

I borrow the plane?

He'll have his license by then. He'll be with an instructor tomorrow.
How are you going to sleep when it's time for his first solo?

Even better questions:
Does he go on the insurance policy as a named insured?
How is your annual rate affected?

Not yet. He's training in a C-150, not Atlas. (I'm crazy, not
stupid...)

Won't know till he's done.

All that lost sleep for nothing -- it's storming to beat the band
here, and predicted to continue all day.

Back in 1980 I was 18 and added to an policy on an Archer. I had a few more
hours than the ~40 year old owner (about 100 total) and it had there was no
increase. At least back then they looked more at expereince than age.

How's he going to learn to fly in =that=? When he transitions to the
Atlas, he'll have to fly upside down!

Well, I don't know how "real" a 150 is -- but I don't care which side
the wing is on, just so long as his training doesn't occur in *my*
plane...

*The* wing? I'd kinda hope there's one on the left and one on the right!

It's only a matter of time before he's storming around the pattern
making carrier landings in Atlas : )
