Father’s Day flying memories

By General Aviation News Staff · June 15, 2014 ·

With the advent of Father’s Day, Air Facts blogger John Zimmerman shares his memories of flying with his Dad: “I’ve been flying with my dad for literally my entire life, growing up in the back of different airplanes while he flew me and my three brothers on family trips. Occasionally, I got to move up front to the right seat. A look through the family photo albums finds the obligatory picture of me in the cockpit with my dad, yoke in hand, smiling from ear to ear. It’s pretty clear I thought my dad was a superhero back then, and 20 years as a pilot myself haven’t changed that opinion much.” Read the full post here.
