I'm a bonanza S35 owner by choice, but I still fly my friends 172 for fun every once in a while.

On a recent trip to Texas I took my 5 year old, and spent some time introducing him to why Dad loves airplanes so much.

We had a great time, and I made a silly movie for the day:

Looks like fun. I have a one year old boy, can't wait to get him up. Would be sooner, but it's been a lousy winter around these parts.

Please wear your shoulder harness.

Well done.

I'd ride in a child seat myself for lunch at the Hard 8.

And when you're done, you and your clothes are perfectly smoked...
We have gotten a lot of catering from there, good stuff.

PS: Hicks is great for breakfast though. Been there a few times when we are in Alliance.

Awesome Video!

I flew my two when they were your guy's age.

Now one flys a Falcon 50, the other is getting his Instructor rating and will be a A and P soon.

And I get to ride in the back of the Baron to Oshkosh.

Time does march on!

Thanks guys!

It was a really turbulent day actually. (I guess it's just my superior piloting skills that let him sleep onboard? Clearly had nothing to do with the heavy food, warm sunshine, and droning of the slow Cessna propellor?). He doesn't sleep on the Bo yet, that's for sure. Especially with me still all over the place on the controls.

It's interesting, my wife and I started flying again as soon as he was born, and he's never really shown any interest in airplanes until this trip. And it was the preflight that got him interested. We talked about how he controls work, and the important job of checking to ensure everything was safe and right. That's when the gears started turning and the questions started flowing.

I hope to keep him interested enough that someday I get a ride in the back of a baron to Oshkosh.

:)

If I lived closer to Texas, I think I would weigh a lot more than I already do. That pile of Que looked amazing.

Hard 8 is one of my top Que places. Whole Hog in Little Rock is another and Rudys in San Antonio a third.
