Picture of the day: Like father, like daughter

By General Aviation News Staff · February 11, 2016 ·

Jim Pantas sent in this photo, explaining: “I recently flew up to where my daughter, Nicole, was taking her checkride to give her moral support. This is a picture of the plane she took her checkride in and mine glistening in the sun right after she became a pilot.”

    beautiful! I took my daughter up for her first airplane ride in 1991. She was my only passenger over the years that turned “green”. Next day I hooked her up with an instructor. One year later she had her private license. I was real happy about that.
    Time passes and we no longer fly or own an airplane, but that was a wonderful feeling.
