I had no idea this organization existed:

My 12-year-old son Ian, an aviation fanatic and Royal Canadian Air Cadet, participated in their free flight program today. Several volunteer pilots brought their own aircraft and provided flights for kids 8-17. I signed him up thinking he might catch a ride in a Piper or Cessna, or at best someone's homebuilt kit plane.

Or how about the Christen Eagle -- a fully aerobatic performance biplane! The pilot even gave him about a minute of stick time. Not only did Ian score a ride in this little hot rod, he flew it. I was sooooo envious.

It's gonna take weeks to wipe the smile from his face.

 

it must of been a experience for him...thats a nice airplane

 

That's a lifetime memory for Ian!
Truly awesome.

 

Wow, Wayne!! That is so cool! I bet he had the time of his life!

 

Wow that's just amazing!!

 

What a fantastic experience for him. I never heard of that organization before either.

 

Wow. That had to be a fantastic ride and a great memory for you both.

 

wow jealous haha. Always wanted to do that.

 

Holy crap, that's awesome Wayne. Your Son must of had an ear to ear grin on his face!!

 

I would definitely crash that.

Flying planes scares the **** outta me.

One more reason John Travolta is a boss.

 

Yeah, my Dad stock is pretty high this weekend.

 

Btw, Ian looks SOOOOOOO much like you!!

 

Everyone says that. Good thing for his mother, right?? haha! I take it as a compliment, he's a good-looking kid. I envy him his dating life in about 5 years.

 

That is cool something he will remember for a long time, I have an uncle that was in the snow birds and flew F-18s I had an opportunity to go up in a jet with him was I was young but I was to chicken I regret it all of the time

 

That is awesome!
