My Son's 1st Flight
I've been waiting a long time for this flight.
http://vimeo.com/37284173
We had a great time. Now he keeps asking how he can earn another flight. I think chores and homework time just got a little easier for Mom and Dad.
Thanks,
Scott

You will find out that flying has HUGE leverage with a kid like that. Ask me how I know  .
Great video!

Enjoy those times!
My 8 year old ask if we were going flying this weekend. You bet if the wx, homework and room is all good to go. He likes steep turns and watching something float "like being in outer space". I need a -7 now. Just kidding honey.

DAD MOTIVATION! THANKS!
Thanks for the motivation Scott! I am in the middle of building a 7A and I just showed my boy, Zack(4 years old) your video. I figure I have about two years of build to go and and he will be 6 years old and ready for flight. Your video will provide me with a little "spring in my step" while working on my brake pedals today!
Cheers
Chad

Sweet!
Quality time for sure, Scott!
BTW...an iPad is much easier to use than those maps of yours!
Best,

Thanks everyone!
Thanks everyone for the great comments.
My son just got home from school and feels like a Rockstar having his photo front page on VAF!
Pierre,
That plane actually has dual Dynons  We had the chart out from an earlier discussion on recognizing what the chart is showing us. When we go sailing I have him do Time, speed and distance for me  He's like his daddy, learns better "hands-on"...
Thanks,
Scott
