Skylor's first flying lesson

[tankcommander]

I figured my son's 11th birthday was a good time for him to start living up to his name, so I rented a plane and hired a flight instructor. I also took the opportunity to do some flying myself after almost 10 years, now I've got the bug again.... Damn airplanes!

some parents go fishin, or huntin, but you guys go flying? Now that's original and a talent that the kid can use for the future.

Looks like fun.

We do that together also BB.

Please indulge me while I bragg about my kid for just a minuet.

First let me tell you that he's my only child, and I was 41 years old when he was born.

He wants to go to the Air Force Acadamy, and since he consistantly makes straight A's in school, and has shown leadership ability by being elected to the student council, and is a patrol leader in Boy Scouts, I think he has a good shot at it.

With what I fear lies ahead for this country, I pray that he makes it. I'd much rather see him in the cockpit of an F-22, than in the turret of a tank like his dad.

He's a good kid Joe. He was well behaved when we had dinner together. Tell him Happy B-day from Kim and I.

Hope he makes it. He'll like Colorado Springs a lot!

Sounds like a all-around great kid Joe. I hope that he continues to do well and gets into the AF. I truely beleive that time in the service gives a person a greater appreciation for this country.
