N441SE (cn 9485) My 11 year old son getting in his first helicopter stick time on a sight seeing flight over South Bass Island. He is doing pretty good- slight descent and a bit of left turn, but for the most part kept her straight and level and did some banks. I think he is hooked!

Wow Mike!!!! Looks like you are having a blast. I can just imagine your Mom's face when you were up there. I know I would of been worried if that was Matt. Golf thank gosh is a less scary hobby. Unless you don't hear someone yell "Fore", and get hit in the head with a golfball.

Awesome, Michael. Your aviation career has begun. When is that coast-to-coast flight scheduled?

All clear on the interstate for westbound traffic this morning

Mom stayed on the ground for this one- she could not bear to see her son being drawn over to the "dark side". I, however, was more then happy to relinquish the front seat to him, as I knew what the inevitable results would be. Another aviation nut is born!

I'll give ya a 10, looking good. Did you get a picture of your mom's face during that flight? Now that would have been priceless.

Mike, you look like a natural on the stick. Good job handling the controls. You finally got to take your Dad for a ride for a change.

Funny you said that- my son has a season pass to Cedar Point, and has been on every ride- and yes, he says flying that helicopter IS better then any ride at Cedar Point!

Better than any ride at Cedar Point!

Flying a helicopter is a blast, good to see someone getting a chance to experience the fun early.

Excellent! Yes, I think he is hooked for life!
