Axel,
What a great experience! I would love to host a group like that. Kudos to you and your wife. You may have planted some seeds that may take years to blossom, but they're there nonetheless. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

Good on you!
Axel
The best of my 470 hours in my 6A was giving Young Eagle rides, you'll love it. That is why I ultimately opted to build a 4 instead of a 3, Young Eagles and as Smokey calls them LGIB. BTW, I can appreciate the questions asked by the kids. When I was a firefighter, I gave stop, drop and roll classes to preschoolers. One time I was telling them "what to do when the smoke detectors goes off". They said don't you mean "when the smoke detector comes on"? I was stymied and speechless. Their teacher just laughed at me.

Memories
My very first airplane ride was in a 152 (probably) as part of aviation merit badge as a young boy scout. I've never forgotten it. You definitely did some good work with those kids.

Hosting those kids was a very cool thing to do Axel! You made an impact on all of them for a long time to come. I too had my first aviation experience as a Boy Scout working on the aviation merit badge. As a former Scoutmaster, the joy is finding things that "click" with each one of the boys, and I guarantee you did that for at least 1 of them!

Great story
Axel, That's a great story and better than anything I remember doing as a cub scout.
