Picture of the day: Sons’ first flight with dad

By General Aviation News Staff · February 18, 2016 ·

Walt Harderr sent in this photo, explaining: “Me and my two boys on an morning flight from Colorado Springs Airport (COS) to Animas Air Park (00C) near Durango, Colo., for a barbeque with my sister. First time in plane for both the boys — dad’s a newly minted pilot just a couple months earlier. Smooth air, beautiful views and a great time with my sons.”
