The first time I took my (then) 4 year old up, I let my CFI fly the plane
while I sat in back with my daughter. She thought it was cool for a while,
then fell asleep. If you're going to be the one driving, I recommend another
family member be in the plane to handle crowd control until you can get back
down.

Now, my daughter is 7 1/2. She'll pretty much only get in the plane if we're
heading to grandpa's house. She knows how much shorter trip it is. Although,
she's starting to "are we there yet?" in the plane. Guess it's time to step
up..... ;-)

Anyone have any experience taking small children flying for the first
time?

Did the kids start screaming the minute the wheels left the pavement
or were they pretty calm?
