Andy Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 One of the things I've enjoyed doing is taking kids on EAA Young Eagle Flights..often flying them for their first time in an aircraft. This weekend I flew an 8 year old named Elijah...and it was the most fun of any I've done! It was my kinda' flight! Had my Go Pro aboard..and I do have permission from Elijah and his grandmother who is his guardian Elijah to share this...so enjoy! It's a bit long at 19 minutes..the entire flight was 30...but I think you'll find it worth it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tED4Z2JNLQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

procharger Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I see u flying in right seat, good for u, but I would have tied his butt to the parachute pulled the handle I've done that to but rider not as noisy as your copilot.

Andy Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 He was just excited! One of my own sons, who's in his thirties now, said Elijah vocalized everything he ever felt when I would take him flying. I had a great time, and this was one of the brightest and most interested in aviation kids I've flown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well, it's hard to blame anybody for being excited about airplanes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmInce Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Well, it's hard to blame anybody for being excited about airplanes! I don't think I was any less excited about airplanes and helicopters when I was his age. I was just lucky enough to "live the dream." For 42 years, I got to do something I loved . . . even while getting paid for it, and for a few years, quite handsomely. Could that be any better? It was almost like getting paid to have a day off. . . . . The last flight was just as much fun as the first one. Don't get me wrong, there were some dues to pay in between those two flights. Like for instance . . . getting shot at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
