Young Eagles

Yesterday the boys and I went out to the airport for a free flight with the Young Eagles program.

 Pilot Matt took Andrew up for his first flight in a Cessna 182.  Andrew was super excited and ready to go.

 The wait for flight was pretty quick.  We enjoyed the beautiful weather and watched several planes take off and land.  There were also a few helicopters at the airport too.

 Ready for take-off.

 Little brother ran to greet his big brother when he landed.

 Of course, one must be interviewed by the newspaper staff.  I'm wondering what comments will appear in the paper tomorrow.

 Thomas really didn't meet the age requirement but this kind pilot let him go on a short flight as he waited so patiently for his big brother and was really excited to go.

 This is the face of a happy little boy who just has to do everything big brother does.

Thanks so much to the Young Eagles program for making this available.  Maybe one or both of these boys will follow in your footsteps one day.
