Taller and Taller - Aug 2025

It was that fun time of the year when we get together to fly with my boys in their local southern Cal skies. While Alex had been flying 3DC in the great Northwest last year, Nathaniel had not had an opportunity to fly in over a year. Both grandsons had been really growing taller recently, with Alex now equal to his Dad at 6'1" tall, even taller than me! Instead of using seat cushions with the boys from their very early flying, I now had to move their seats fully down and back to provide comfortable access to the yoke and rudder pedals. They definitely have no problem seeing over the nose now! Although it had been awhile, David, Alex and Nathaniel all fell right into checklist use, clearing before turns and smoothly using their flight controls in all maneuvers. They all did a great job clearing for other aircraft in the busy southern California skies, while enjoying the great visibility and coastal views throughout our flights. All great pilots!
