First Date

This morning, while working out together, my 15 year old son asked (out of
the clear blue sky) if he can take a friend flying next week.

Absentmindedly, I reply "Sure -- what's the guys name?" -- to which my son
replied "Anna..."

Yikes! His first date with a girl, and he wants to take her flying -- how's
THAT for starting 'em out young? :-)

Any suggestions? Did any of you guys ever fly one of your kids out on a
date?

Intercom on pilot/crew isolate?

At 15, you'd better start him on flight instruction.

I was taking my girl friends on flying dates at 17 without my Dad. G

If I found myself in that situation (my kids are 27 and 24) I'd be
certain to call the girls parents just to make sure that they are O.K.
with the idea of their daughter going up in "one of those little planes."
I would not tell that there is no rear view mirror to watch for any
"extra-aviation" activity in the back seat. wink Just my $0.02 worth.

Hmmm. I had not considered that. Probably a good idea, but that will
REALLY convince my son how "uncool" we are...

(As if he needed further reinforcement!)

Well - as I read that Jay - he didn't invite you along!
And, it seems to me, that choosing between the plane actually lifting
off with Dad at the controls, or, sitting in the hangar with dad nowhere
in sight, he is looking for option #2.

Just a thought

Fortunately, "being cool" is not in any way a condition of parenthood. And
that goes double for "being cool in the eyes of one's children".

Why not suggest that Joe talk to the girls parents about it and if they
have any questions, they can call and speak with you or Mary?
