Proud Dad Moment

Post by GeorgesGoons »

My son has wanted to be a pilot since his grandpa gave him microsoft flight sim when he was 6 or so. Today I got to go up with him. Here are some videos of the touch and goes he was doing

I have zero desire to fly a plane, flying doesn't bother me though

It got postponed :( They lost his flight physical and he needs to get another one sent from the FAA. Can't wait till he gets fully licensed and can rent an aircraft and take us up with him

I would have zero interest in flying. I'd rather someone else kill me than me kill myself in a plane

Jace finally got in his solo flight! The spousal unit and myself did not know it was happening today, which is a good thing as we both would have been a nervous wreck. Now it's onto cross country flights.
