The International Cessna^® 170 Association

I've seen several posts by folks with young kids. I highly recommend that you get a children's log book for each one. Besides the flight time and destination locations, it also has columns for airplanes they saw on the flight and their favorite part of the flight.

I bought one for my son when he started flying with me back when he was four. Now, he's 24 and a flight instructor at Kansas State University. When he was home this summer, I dug it out and he had a blast reading the entries and reminiscing. Priceless!

That logbook for your children is a good one. Also get them some headsets to protect their hearing.

GREAT IDEA! Thanks! (and Thanks from my grandkids!)

Not just your own kids but ANY kid you happen to give a ride to (IMO)

Our field gives a lot of intro flight to kids (flight school) and I am always surprised when they don't give them a log book afterwards.
An 8 or 9 year old kid just got his first little airplane ride on his birthday, give him a log book so he's got something to hold on to until the next ride!

It would be really neat if AOPA would print up a cheap/free kids log book with a few dozen pages in it for just this occasion.
I would have loved to have on as a kid.

Don't Young Eagles get a logbook?

Only for special occasions.

Every Young Eagles flight is a special occasion at our Chapter they always get a logbook. Bill K.

My little-est grandchild is Ava.

Ava has cried maybe twice in her entire 5-years. She is one of those children who accepts her restrictions but explores anything/anywhere not denied her.

In April of 2011 we took her to a 170 FLy-In at Brenham, TX where the airport has a 1950's style cafe, complete with bubbling juke-box and teen-aged, pony-tailed waitresses dressed in poodle-skirts, Bobbie-sox and penny-loafers.
You can see how Ava kept her eyes pressed to the rear window almost the entire flight....after much prodding from "Pop-Pop" (me) she finally turned around to face me so I could take her picture. You can see our fellow 170-ers sitting around the table waiting for our hamburgers, chicken-fried steaks smothered in cream gravy, and milk shakes, etc.. (see how Frank is digging in his wallet while asking Becky if she brought any money?) Jamie is reading a children's book to her as Ava waits for her chicken-nuggets and what Ava deliriously enjoyed what the cafe had re-named hush-puppies.... the menu called them "shut-up puppies".

Next to Jamie is one of our Members who owns a B-model. He is one of the maintenance techs at the largest importer of Toyotas, Gulf States Toyota. (They operate a G-5 in the Houston area which he maintains.)

Also present, sitting next to Becky Stephenson is a Member from Corpus Christi, TX with a highly-modified B-model. Next to him is another owner from the Rosenberg area. I'm sorry not to recall the names of these three newest participants in our fly-ins.

After a good-times lunch with friends, Ava is ready to board for the flight back home.

Great pictures gahorn. Ava is definately a pilot in the making. Pretty 170, too.

cute kids, they are enjoying alot
