Hi troops.
When my eldest son turned 10 I wanted to treat him to a special adventure with me so we could celebrate both the entrance into "double figures" of age and his growing relationship with me. I chose a deep sea fishing charter for the both of us and it was a fantastic day where we bonded as we both heaved over the side of a boat...
My youngest son is about to turn 10 and I have decided that because (like me) he is an aviation fanatic who desperately wants to grow up to be a pilot I would shout him a flying lesson.
Here is my query. Should it be an actual flying lesson/introductory flight which some schools may buck at given his age, or a joy flight with him at the controls and me as a passenger (which would therefore require a C172 or equivalent as opposed to an RA) which could last a bit longer? Am I mad?
By the way, the wife is not happy...
