The Kid Buys an Airplane!


Brandon's New Baby

Behold the newest addition to the family: a 1946 Aeronca Champ, a very cute, very small airplane. My older son is a corporate pilot, and this is his first plane of his very own. Needless to say, he is ecstatic...walking on cloud 9, so to speak.

He is one of those lucky souls who always knew what he was born to do - and he was born to fly. Of course, I have to set aside my overprotective, mother-hen tendencies to be happy about this latest turn of events. But I'm working on it.

In fact, my son tells me that the door can be taken off, so I can lean out and take aerial photos from it. And I plan to do it!

Oh very very cool... I can see why your son would be thrilled and I feel the "Mom" protectiveness too... Safe flights always...

Thanks, Michelle and Eileen!

I'm looking forward to going up in it myself. I've been researching aerial photography...
