OK Roger, we need details here. Obviously, you made someone's day. Who
is your new copilot? Great picture!

That's my youngest son. His older brother went up last summer. It's
been a long time coming because their mother hates everything about
aviation and is scared to death of it. I've been flying since 1997
and she has never even seen the airplane!

Boy, hearing that makes me realize just how lucky I am.
Yesterday I took my 6 1/2 year old up.
She can do 360 degree steep turns almost by herself (she still doesn't pull
back enough).
Today, the wife, my 6 1/2, 4, and 1 1/2 year old, and I went on a short
cross country.
Everyone had a great time, except on the way back, the little one needed a
nap, and was fighting it.
It's a lot easier to fly when the better half is on board ;-)

Anyway, congratulations getting your sons flying! By the look on his face,
I'm sure he had a great time!

One thing that stands out to me, right after the open bug-catcher, is
that easy relaxed grip on the yoke. I've got a hunch there will be
competition for the right seat from now on.

Yea baby!

I just landed 2 hrs ago, With a dad & his 6yr old son.

Dad's 2nd, son's first. ( in a light plane, both flown
commercial before)

Took off before sunset found their house and son's school,
flew to a ski hill all lit up for night sking, back over the city
lights at dark, squeeked the night landing....

Whatta treat to live in a country(Canada) where we can do
this, making memoriable experiences for ourselves and others!

I'm really not sure WHO had the most fun..

Roger, can you explain the "baldeagle" in that URL?

The reason I ask: Bald Eagle mountain is just a few miles from here,
in central PA, just north of UNV; it was named, we're told, after an
indian chief Bald Eagle.

Is there a similar story behid your baldeagle?

Thanks. vince norris
