4 generation flight

I don't know if this has been done before, but if so, it's got to be rare.

Today I had the opportunity to share the RV grin with 4 generations all at once in my RV-10 N541RV. On board: my Great Uncle Al, my Dad, Bob Sr. my daughter Olivia and me, all went for a flight along the NJ coast. We had a blast! Uncle Al, 96, is sharp as can be and was looking forward to the flight for about the past 6 months when I cooked up the idea. It was a great ride and am so pleased to be able to share aviation anyway I can.

Took my daughter flying today, just the two of us. Considering all of my ancestors are gone, and she has no kids, this was the entire living branch on the Starkey tree. Not as cool as your flight, but it is good to share the fun with your family.

What a great flight! Well done.

One suggestion though, and it is being picky, but in that one in 100,000 chance you have to evacuate, better footwear, and perhaps longer shorts (yeah its summer and I wear shorts too.) could be an advantage if things went ugly.

Climbing on wings is not a non-shoe environment.
