Scott and I were both so proud of our little aviator that we both created a blog about it (I wrote one while Ava rested, and Scott created it at work)! Enjoy reading it from two perspectives!

Ava’s First PPC Flight
Last week Ava asked if she could go flying for the first time with me. Jenn and I thought about it and decided if we could safely get her car seat secured to the airframe, and if Ava still wanted to go, that we would give it a try. The weather was perfect, about 80 degrees and no wind.
We talked ahead of time and we told Ava that we would go for a short flight for a minute or two around the pattern so she could see if she liked it, then we’d land and talk about it and she could decide if she wanted to go again.

And we’re off!
After our short flight we landed and Ava immediately said she wanted to go again
So we did!

Wait until she asks…
That was the advice given to me by a group of women at the very first powered parachute fly-in we attended. We were talking about when it would be appropriate for Ava to go flying with Scott.
It was Friday afternoon and Ava said, “Mommy, can we go flying this weekend?” Knowing Scott didn’t have any airplanes reserved through the club and we were finally going to have nice weather, I told her that maybe she could go flying with Daddy on his Powered Parachute.
When daddy came home she told him that she would like to go flying with him. After making sure he could securely strap in her carseat, he decided to give it a go!
Scott explained to Ava that they would take off, fly around for a few minutes, and then land. If she liked it, they would go back up. If she didn’t, they would pack up and go home.
Ava all strapped in, ears protected, ready to go.

As soon as they landed I heard Ava say, “I want to go again! They took off again and went on an 18 minute flight.

Love the shoes on Daddy’s shoulders.

So happy to be flying.
I asked Scott how she did in the air and he said she just said, “wheeeeeeee” the whole time. Looks like he has a new co-pilot!
