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

And joined the 1/2 mile high club?

Yeah, me too. One Aeronca Champ, one 17 year old and a girl named Tammy.
Problem was, her dad didn't find out until it was over and my dad grounded
me from the Champ for a month.

That was 1962 and there was a lot more interest in flying by young people
then. The airport was full of guys, and gals, and I miss that today.

A cop is out patrolling the local lover's lane. He sees the usual cars with
the usual steamed up windows, but there is one car with the lights on
inside.

He walks up to the car and sees a kid in the driver's seat reading, and a
girl in the passenger side reading.

He knocks on the window and the kid rolls the window down:

"Evenin', officer"
"Evenin, son, watcha doing?"
"I'm reading a book officer"
"What's the young lady doing?"
"I believe she's reading a book too, officer"
"How old are you, son?"
"Eighteen, officer"
"How old is the young lady?"
"Well, officer, in exactly thirteen minutes, she's going to be eighteen
too."

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!)

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?
