My daughter wants to be a pilot, and my wife just sent me this photo of her in the cockpit of their flight home! She's never going to stop talking about this.

oh that’s beautiful I love how excited the pilot looks to be showing her around too

Gonna be all summer and she's gonna tell her friends next year at school. Lol.

Awww, she has to wait until Sept. Did she get wings for show and tell? Do they still do show and tell?

I haven't heard of anyone getting to do this in the last 23 years!

My children have gotten to sit up front! I was stunned! It’s only on the way off the plane but it’s such a great experience for them

all time child memory right there

This is dream come true stuff. My dad flew planes. So she wanted to be a pilot too.
Commercial based in Philly?

No. Air force. Then stopped until we were grown and flew puddle jumpers around Philly/Lehigh/Reading
Gotcha. Wondered if our dads knew each other. Probably did anyway.

I love the rainbow shirt, and I love that it was a woman pilot!

one of my favorite people to fly with was legendary for finding herself in a super fucked up situation and getting everyone on the ground safely

A friend from high school is a pilot for Southwest. I have to send this to her!!

for a second i did not notice the little blurred face on the right and i thought you were saying your daughter was the person on the left and i was like what the fuck you are much older than i thought lmfao (this is so cute i love it)

Also cool that pilot was a woman.

And now I’m being mansplained on the true meaning here. But actually, I stand by my original statement. There are precious few female pilots and it’s especially cool that a little girl who wants to be a pilot got to meet a role model.

Interestingly, mansplaining dude did not feel compelled to make the same point to a man whose reply said virtually the same thing. Hmmm 🤔, I feel as if there’s a word for this.

l was that kid, and l ended up being an airline pilot

My sister is a pilot. She got an ROTC scholarship to Stanford and got her degree and applied for a pilot training and was accepted. She was in the Air Force for 8 years and now flies commercially. It was a great career path.

The teddy with her in the pilot seat is just really breaking my heart

Please tell me they still give out wings

Even cooler is that is a woman pilot!

I actually teared up at this, this fucking rules so hard
Avatar
Just the best thing ever. So pleased for her, and you and Mom.

Nor should she ever stop talking about it. Talking about airplanes is the best thing to talk about. You will really know if she has the pilot genetic defect if she always looks up for any airplane she hears flying overhead. Bet the Captain does.

With her TEDDY BEAR! I'm never going to stop crying, this is so precious
Avatar
And she’s got her teddy bear too. So cute!
Avatar
Well I hope she follows her dream, because she can easily become a pilot!!!

This is so wonderful! If there's an airfield near you I recommend going there with your daughter to watch people take off and land and work on their planes. Pilots love to talk about their planes, especially when they're talking to little kids!
Avatar
Literally "love to see it." Thanks for sharing this amazing moment for her.
Avatar
Oh I am so glad they still do this! (At least some times)
Avatar
omg with the stuffie still in hand, too. I can't explain how adorable this is.

Coach, not only is that the ultimate DAWWW picture of super-cuteness, I'd like to applaud your thoughtfulness for blurring out her face - I think that's the only way to go in this weird era. The original is definitely on a mantle in a frame by now, innit? Or soon will be?

Cute! But what is a "flight home" ?
Avatar
The flight you take back to your home

ohhh derp XD I thought it was some other thing and was confused

You're doing god's work here, Rebecca. ✊

I particularly love that you censored your kid’s face for privacy before uploading to the public internet 🫶🏼
