First born, First Flight & Lockheed Constellation

Hey Guys,

so it's been a while since I write, but it has also been a while since I fly. For the past month or so I have hit the books really hard trying to study for my written, I really want to get that out of the way.

In other news, my son Zach took to the sky for the first time. He was so thrilled as so was I since we were both going to fly that day. But, as a parent I was so proud to see him take the yoke and maneuver that bird in the sky.

Here is a short video:


Before the flight I had a chance to walk my son Zach thru the preflight and that was a great refresher for me. My son flew from CDW (Caldwell, NJ) to Greenwood Lake, NJ. At Greenwood look airport we were greeted by the Lockheed Constellation. It's last (US) tail number was N9412H. It is the airports office and restaurant. 





I'm very excited to get back up in the sky sometime in the middle of August and I hope I can take my son up again.
