Default Way cool!

I know exactly how you feel taking her flying. Just looking at these really cool pictures warms my heart. Thanks for sharing!

I have a 3 year old daughter who loves to go flying in our Cessna 152. Someday I'd like to take her flying in our RV-10 but who knows when we'll be done w/it. Cannot imagine where the time goes (11mo old and 3yr old :-) ).

I found it funny/ironic/odd... that when I first took her flying w/me around 18mo I was more nervous for that flight than any flight I've ever had with passengers (which is quite a lot). I was choaked up over the whole thing too. Never would have thought a 20 something lb little kid could make my heart melt for times like these. It's truly special to enjoy your passion with your children. Hopefully they stay interested in it too. If not there is always the PAX mute button! Here's to hoping the teenage years aren't as bad as they say.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! She might need just 1 more phone book to sit on though!

Default Nice,

Man that's cool, and inspiring. My wife is due in 6 weeks with our first, a girl! I imagine she'll be about that age when the 9 is complete and can't wait to take her flying

Are you sure that wasn't her second flight though?!. Seem to remember a YouTube video of N200PF with some resemblance

Thanks guys!

Jeff she is sitting on every available Classic Aero booster I have. She was just the right height for the harnesses to buckle as tight as her car seat...it worked out great!

She woke up this morning asking about the airplane. That was pretty heartwarming.

Thanks Larry! Yeah she loves the Tattoos but they don't stay on very long. She gets a new one every few days and it looks like she's ready for a new one. She LOVED every part of the flight...hope it stays that way forever.

You can see the reflection of Dad's RV grin in the little lady's sunglasses!
