That reminds me very much of a similar experience some friends of ours had. Their son, Charlie, is a very young FO with a well known national carrier. Some other mates of theirs also had a son of six who went on his first flight to Spain recently. His mother had told the son that Charlie flew the exact aircraft which impressed the little lad no end. She then went on to say, “But of course, daddy is also pilot.” (Daddy is a WingCo in the RAF) The lad then turned to mum and said, “But Charlie is a PROPER pilot!”
