Re: Best age for a first flight?

You need to not only give rides early, but immersion therapy in all things aviation will help the "disease" to stick. My son teaching his son while I work on my project at my hangar. A wife down the road a few years will be "pleased".

I'm glad you brought this up. My son and my nephew both needed the eardrum perforation "tubes" when they were infants. Genetics I suppose. Make sure the little ones can clear their ears on car trips in the mountains first.
