Take a kid Flying... or to the Drags... or to the Races

Another member on here sent me this clip the other day, and sent me into an emotional retro-rollercoaster.

 

I could see myself in the RH seat of a rental Cessna 150 with my Dad in the LH seat, on my very 1st plane ride. Stuff like this sticks with you, and fuels a passion.

The pic attached is a few years later when the skrawny kid on the wing of a 310 just finished a pre-flight walk-around!

I had a sticker from this place on my car for several years. I think it's important to involve kids in things like this, even if it's not thier "thing" just so they can be exposed to the culture and to see all the old cars. That being said, I also think it's not a place for them to run free. Both my kids are quite aware of the time and money put into these cars, and when they do walk up to a car, thier hands are in pockets or behind them.
