I am worried about them "freaking out"- especially the little one. They have never flown before (commercially or otherwise). Of course they need to be in back of the 172, which would make it difficult for my friend to reassure them, etc. I'm especially concerned about the younger one for the obvious reason that 3 is pretty young. To the folks that have a lot of experience taking up little kids- what are the rough odds that he'll be just fine vs. having a cow? I need to decide if I should suggest that this isn't a great idea or not. TIA. As always it depends on the kids. Plan a short trip the first time to get an idea if they like it or not. When I hear "Weeeeeee!!!" on steep short final I take that as a sign they like it a lot! I also give out a dollar or lollipop or candy bar to every plane spotted while we're flying. Kids have great eyes! Especially with a sweet incentive. I treat it like going for a ride in a car. The trickiest part is walking the ramp with them. R. Hubbell |
