On my last flight I let my little four-year-old think she was flying
the airplane. "Left turn! Yay!" "Right Turn! Yay!"

My son started flying the plane about age 4, too.

The only danger is that flying can become so commonplace, they forget how
special it is. Both of my kids have gone through period where they were
jaded about flying, simply because we do it so much.

Of course, that's when it's time to give them some right seat time, which
usually does the trick. (But it ain't always easy, getting my wife -- also
a pilot -- to relinquish that seat! :-)
