Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Me too. I love this video, and pull it up on the flatscreen at home with my Apple TV just to get a smile.

Thats one HAPPY kid!! I was 17 when I had my first flight, I still get that nervous feeling and HUGE smile everytime I fly, That's what kids need to experience.
Great video

That's what it's all about! Got to do it for my 2 daughters and I'll never forget it. They spent many hours strapped in the back seat of a Citabria when they were small. Makes for some great memories. Best way to baby sit there has ever been. Today my wife and I flew over to see our oldest Daughter and Son-in-law. They tell us we are going to be grandparents! Going to get to do it again!

I don't think there is anything that can make me smile more than seeing the smile of a child having a great time. Thanks for posting, puts tears of joy in my eyes.

That's a great video!
After watching it, I kept clicking on various suggested videos until I ended up at this one, which is almost as good. It's a first solo flight... maybe how that little girl from the first video will end up some day.

I like both of those videos. I have seen them before and posted to Facebook also. The first solo video is great to watch how that young lady reacts to successfully completing each maneuver or even call on the radio. Here excitement jumps off the video screen! My turn is coming.

That video made me cry. My youngest daughter is 21 and flying helicopters for a living in Idaho. Wow, does that bring back memories. Thanks.
