I have a 9 yr old son that is interested in aviation. He says that he wants
to become a pilot! ![]() I am an A&P, but am not a pilot. I do have a cousin who is a pilot and we have both gone up with him, so my son has experienced flying in both general aviation aircraft (Piper) and commercial aircraft (Fokker 100 & 757). My cousin just bought a glider, so hopefully my son (and myself!) will get to experience this soon. My question is, are there any good educational programs that my son could get involved in to further expand his interest in aviation? I have looked at the EAA website and have seen the Young Eagle and the Wild Blue Wonders programs. I'm sure that he would like to do the Young Eagle program, but like I said, he has already flown before. Is there more to the Young Eagle program than just a flight? He is too young for the WBW program. Are there any other programs available locally (D/FW area)? What can I do myself to help him? Websites? Literature? From time to time, we go watch the planes at a local airport, which we both enjoy. I have also taken him to the American Airlines museum and to the Vintage Flying museum at Meacham Field. Thanks... Chuck |
