Title: Look what i found in my cockpit?
Post by: 727737Nut on January 04, 2011, 03:22:35 PM
My son ,whom i am molding into a future great airline pilot . LOL  He is showing off his new Christmas present, a full pilot outfit. At 9yrs old he is taking this all very serious. He uses checklist and proper terminology when flying. Kind of neat for his papa to see. :)  If any real world pilots read this, i could use some advice on what route to send him. I am leaning towards USAF for training but open to suggestions.

Congrats.
Well you still have time to figure out the best way.(lol).
I started teaching my daughter  flying C-150's when she was 10.
Kids are great when they have it, and she was able to land in no time.
She went the regular private, Commercial, Instructor way.
I used to build up her twin time with her and enjoying the opportunity.
She flew DC9 (just before they were retired.) then A320 and now 777.
Great kid you have Rob.!

Jack, I had no idea you had a daughter, and especially one that flew a 777. We all learn fantastic things all the time here about each other. That's why I love this site along with our Hangar for the LJ guys. Commaraderie. (Sp?)

So, I gotta ask....what does she think about your dysfunctional sim obsession?

I have a 2 year old that LOVES airplanes as long as they're not screaming overhead or too loud. The LJ45 sim- it's heaven for her...for about 3  minutes.  Looking forward to the day she can fill in as a crew member like Rob's boy!
