The young ace prepping for takeoff…
I’m often asked – “How young can pilots start their training?” My answer is; “As soon as they want to”. Boost them up and forward so they can see out and get to the stick.
They ‘get it’ pretty quickly. After working with the factory to get rudder pedal extensions so they can work the rudders, I love getting youngsters started. Some want to be airline pilots, others fighter pilots. Great aviation passion starts at young age!
