The
“Pilot” 1-29-2018
In
the early ‘70s I would take my son Todd flying with me. We would drive to
Colton, California, about 27 miles from our house in San Bernardino, and rent a
Cessna 150, and go flying for a couple hours. As soon as the engine started,
Todd’s hands would be on the controls. “I wanna
drive, dad!” His little 6 year old feet couldn’t reach the rudder pedals, and
he could barely see over the instrument panel, but he loved the feeling of
control, and he would “wag” the wings with delight.
That was over 40 years ago. Now he has his own airplane, and
a son, very eager to become a pilot too.
Like his dad, Logan started flying at an early age.
He graduated from flying over the swimming
pool to piloting R.C. airplanes.

One day, they came and took us for
a ride in his dad’s plane.
As he got older, Logan started taking flying lessons, and
today, (1-29-2018) I received an e-mail with this “Youtube” URL.

In December, 2018,
just after Christmas, Logan brought his drone, and took some pictures of the
ranch.
Here are 2 video clips

Todd sent this YouTube
clip of Logan’s first solo flight. (He soloed in the Cessna before he soloed
driving a car!)
Logan's First Solo
I am proud of “my
men”, and I look forward to watching them grow!
