Family & Friends Took my aircraft-loving 4-year-old daughter to the airport to watch the arrivals and departures for the first time

Picture 1&3 shows who we got our love of airplanes from :) I love listening to my dad and Granda talk “shop” about planes and history! Note the radio in picture 3 so we could listen to the arrivals channel.

We were so glad to make it in time to watch the Air France jet land!

"My parents must have thought they had a crazy kid
'Cause I was one of those kids who always knew what I wanted
They took me down to the airport to see all the planes departing
Watching them fly something inside of me was starting
I was eight when I told them that I'd be a pilot"

This is so lovely! Honestly brings a tear to my eye… I see my daughter in this quote. Though I don’t see her as crazy ☺️ I love to encourage her loves
