I had the honor of giving an 11-yr old his first ride in a small plane Saturday evening. Saw four sunsets, climbing a little after each one to have it pop back up. Experienced astronomy in real time. And yeah, that's him doing the flying <g>.
After landing there was just enough light to give his Mom a five minute ride around the pattern (her first ride in a small plane also).
Hard to top being right there when someone gets to experience that milestone formative flight. Never gets old.
