Rick Champagne submitted this photo and note: “Here’s a picture of my 6-year-old grandson looking out the window in wonder on his first flight in my C-170A. It was his first ride in a small plane. He absolutely loved it. My dad was a commercial pilot, my son (who was also on this flight) got his license a while back, and now we hope to pass our love of aviation on to the youngest. It was a nice late afternoon flight close to sundown, from a grass strip, low and slow over the area and then back. It was a huge moment for me, in many ways. Once we landed I couldn’t think of any better way to end the day.”
