Pictures of the day: Following in dad’s footsteps

By General Aviation News Staff · September 8, 2016 ·

Brian Ogilvie may be a little biased, but he claims “Sebastian Max Ogilvie is an exceptional 3-year-old boy” who “is crazy about airplanes.”

Brian sent in this series of photos with Sebastian accompanying his dad flying a Cessna 152 from Plymouth Canton Mettetal Airport (1D2) in Michigan.

“Sebastian is destined to become a pilot before he gets his driver’s license,” his proud dad concludes.

    Thank You for Sharing our story. Check out our YouTube video from the Father’s Day Flight 2016. He is absolutely thrilled at the idea of going flying with Dad. (me). He knows the route to the Airport from our house and loves to go there and begs me to take him there sometimes just to sit at the picnic tale in hopes of seeing an airplane or helicopter.
