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!

This was my favorite thing to do as a kid. My dad was an engineer, so I grew up reading Aviation Week and Space Technology. I could spot and ID aircraft before I could recognize pop music stars! LOL

That’s amazing!!! I’m hoping to help my daughter grow her interest too :)
