Piper J3

Well Known Member
My 12 YO granddaughter's 4th flight and first in two years (COVID). Yesterday she flew me to KTSO (80nm) for lunch. I did TO / landing and she flew entire flight out and back keeping altitude and heading spot on. Excellent memory for both...

Future pilot?

What a great day, it sure looks like she enjoyed herself, hope there will be more in future! :)
 
I remember my piston powered first airplane ride in 40 or so years in my buddies RV-12.

That smile was not going to go away easily.

Better keep feeding her until she grows enough so that her feet touch the rudder pedals. ;)

Good stuff, Jim!
