Tonight I had the pleasure of hosting some colleagues from work, and the 12 year old son of one those colleagues.
The young man already has an interest, spending his spare time at a desktop sim with a few Saitek add-ons and P3D.
As the father and son walked into the sim room, the look on the young man's face was priceless. If I leave only one thing behind on this earth when I depart, let it be the fostered enthusiasm of aviation in this one young pilot.
They flew my Beech 1900D (A real pilot's airplane with only VOR/DME.. /A equipment), Pilotedge, with another colleague acting as PIC... The eager 12-year old First Officer in the right seat.
Some video clips to come in a few days but it sure was a great experience. Much like my youth when my father and I would travel to the nearest airport to sit and watch the planes on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
Awesome.....
