Daughter's First GA Flight.

I got Autumn up today in her first GA airplane flight. For the past few week she's been noticing "airpwanes" flying over and also had her with me at the airport a few times when I was doing side work. We only went around the pattern once, it was a little windy and didn't want to spook her, she also looked tired. When I got back to the hangar and shut down she looked at me and said "Daddy go more!"

Good one Joe the little 2.3 yr old I inherited now looks up in the sky and can spot and tell the difference between airpwanes and helwicoppers. Keeping the love of aircraft alive

LMAO Lucky.....

Both my stepsons, aged 6 and 7, play the hell out of IL-2 Sturmovik, and the 7 year old has started drawing planes and combat scenes in his sketch book....

I freakin love it.... Get em started in aviation at an early age and they will be our future in the industry...

Hey Joe, How old is she?

My daughter is 18 months and she's always looking up at aircraft (started pointing them out to her about a year, mayb earlier). Want to get her up too but don't know if there is an age for the min.

She's not talking yet (getting two languages at once) but she knows what they are.

Open question to the board, should I wait until she can at least talk?
