Flying and the New Family
Hi all. I've noticed a considerable decrease in flight hours since my son
was born a little over a year ago. My wife is also 5 months pregnant with another so flying time may suffer further decline. I'm wondering...what are some of your experiences during the life-changing event of a new family and flying? Did you start flying more often after the kids hit a certain age? What did you do to find more time? I found that I can get *some* more flying in by waking up at 5:30 Saturday morning or flying after 10 PM on other nights. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and thank God for everything but darnit, I love flying too! Thoughts?

Thoughts?
Take 'em along! My son has been flying since he was a toddler, and my daughter has flown since birth. It's somewhat of a military operation, getting them loaded in the plane -- but that's no different then EVERYTHING else in your life, with little kids. Just takes more planning.... And it *does* pass. To be replaced by whining, which, in turn, is supplanted by surliness. I can hardly wait to see what's next! :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Yep, bundle them up, transfer everything from your minivan to the airplane,
and take 'em along. Just like travelling in a car, you'll figure out what you need to take and what you don't. you forgot fighting in between the whinning and the surliness.... but nothing a few minutes outside in a chilly Wisconsin winter doesn't solve in a hurry... summer time the garden hose can always come out nahhh.... I wouldn't do that! evil grin -- Jim Burns III Remove "nospam" to reply "Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:y%qCb.525884$Fm2.506470@attbi_s04... Thoughts? Take 'em along!
