Scary (impossible?) though it may seem, that little baby that I held

I dream of the day when one (or both) of my sons does the same.
They're 9 and 13, so I have a little time yet...


Just a comment.

Talking to my brother the other day he commented that one mistake he made
was not keeping his CFI current - his son is now flying right seat in a King
Air and the big thing holding him back is the number of hours logged. If my
brother had kept his CFI, his son would probably could have an extra 1000 or
so hours logged - a big boost in his total time (even if it would have been
dual).

Just something to think about iff'n your young'ns look like they might go
down the aviat'n path...

Oh, he started flying right seat in dad's T-18 before he was tall enough to
see over the IP - even with a booster seat he had to look out the side
windows. And his first lesson (logged) was at about age 12 or so - in a
Pitts S2- first lesson was spins, rolls, loops, inverted flight, etc.
