Flying with Grandpa

By Janice Wood · March 11, 2010 ·

A little boy gets his first flight lesson from his Grandpa, as his Dad watches from the back seat. The YouTube video is put together by the Dad, who notes that his son is learning to fly on the same private strip where he learned to fly 23 years ago. The video includes a beautiful flight over Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Check out some great flying and a great introduction for a young boy into the wonderful world of flight here.
