OK .. I see all the pictures on VansAirforce of folks flying their young
grandchildren. What's everyone's opinion on the right age to take them for
their first flight?
Thanks...

I have found that it is really not about age as much as their sense of adven
ture. Some of my grandkids flew with me when they were four while one was st
ill reluctant at fourteen. Main thing is that it has to be their decision as
long as the parents are OK with it.

Dale:
My grandaughter was nine and grandson five when I took them for their first
rides in my newly completed RV-7A - they both enjoyed the rides, my
grandaughter more so than her brother - she is now 12 and insists we go
flying and that she get some stick time every time she visits - we took
them both to Hawaii for three weeks this summer - she got a beaufiful ride
in a classic WACO UPF-7 out of Dillingham Airfield on Oahu but was a bit
disappointed when she had to settle for the historic/scenic ride instead of
the aerobatic ride due to FAA regs about parachutes -
enjoy your grandchildren and by all means take them flying - I would have
started them at five or six if my plane had been flying -
