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!

You’re killing it as a mom, Kudos to you!

Yes! I am her mom but thank you so much ❤️ we love pointing out planes in the sky, I was so happy that we finally made it to the airport. Will head back as soon as we can!

When pointing out planes in the sky, you can show her flightradar24.com data on your phone for this flight. When you click on one, it shows departure and arrival airports, aircraft type and altitude and speed. Really cool to know where they are going. And small Cessna planes from flight schools are practicing circles.

My bad, I changed it. You’re setting the bar high for the rest of us regardless!

Really awesome ❤️ but please get her some ear defenders if you’re going back. Jet engines are way outside of the safe decibel range, particularly if this is going to be a regular thing for you guys. You want to protect her hearing so she gets the chance to fulfil her piloting dreams.
