Rock-Paper-Scissors 7 Year Old Flies the Airplane

Toccoa loved our two days at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and was sad to leave. We taxi out of our grass camping spot and depart runway 27 for our flight back to Chicago Aurora Airport. Toccoa beats me at Rock-Paper-Scissors and gets to fly us back home.

My Dad and I did the same thing... You have a Intelligent Boy! Good Job!

Such a wonderful video, not that all of your videos are not wonderful though this one has a special place in my heart. Reminds me of when I'd take my son who was probably 10 at the time and I'd turn on the auto-pilot and he thought he was actually flying then one day I did not turn it on and I was amazed at how well he flew all on his own. Also took him to the tower on mid-shifts, gave him a headset and flight strips, he thought he was issuing the clearance to COA jets etc., great memories thanks Kevin.

My dad let me fly a 172 when I was 5 years old. It was over 50 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Building great memories with your son

this brings memoires of when i used to sit in my dads bonanza. Miss that plane, to expensive to maintain considering how old it was (v tail)

[steini]

The look in your son`s eye behind the yoke waiting for dad`s approval. Priceless - Thank you both.

Awww great video!!! Sweet little boy you have you seem like a great dad

[jonathanskeens]

your boy is a natural! even calling out the numbers...what a great kid! He's lucky he has a great Dad like you!

[vincenttorres]

Unforgettable memories, that he will treasure for life. Excellent quality time. Keep enjoying him while he's little. They grow up pretty quick and then leave and have their own family. BUT, guess what, then is the great grandkids time and you will enjoy them also.
GOD bless y'all...

Kids got it! You can tell he's been coached on doing things gradually in an airplane! Loved it!

[ScottGraham]

That's awesome. Reminds me of when I was a little boy and my dad flew a Cessna 172 and would sometimes let me take the controls. You're making great memories for both of you!!!

Nice to see father and son flying together. Thanks. Blessings

[hughknight]

Oh, he's a natural. Great how he slid right into it when you let him. Future aviator loading. He's such a darling.
