    Morris, is that your daughter? There's so much bewilderment in curiosity in those eyes - nice to see you're starting 'em off right According to my family, I first got into planes when I started throwing stuff out of the window of our flat, trying to test if they would really fly or not (ex. my grandfather's expensive wrist-watch ). They're still surprised/relieved that I didn't try to test if I could fly! I still fondly remember my first trip to an air museum...I might be going back to the same one this winter

    He's my 4 year old son James, needs a haircut. It's always an amazing transition when he gets one. But right now he's a household mop with legs. Hell be looking right when he starts school. Loves cars, robots, trains, mud, dirt, maps, puzzels alphabet, numbers, baseball, airplanes... Thats his P47. I was taking it from him. I could'nt find his P51.
    But I hear you on the young-interest in planes thing. I remember being in the single digit age category and trying to figure out how airplanes fly and turn. Since I had never seen one up close I thought there were weights and pullies with cables in the wings that made the plane turn by means of off setting the balance as the pilot slid the wieghts in and out.

    haha, when i was a child i believed that manouvers where made by pressing buttons. i always iamgened the "loop button" being some uber protected thing in tte midle of the cockpit in a airlainer, it had to be protected, otherwise pilots would do that all the time...

    Whoops, well, no offense meant

    Stealing his P-47 then? How unfair

    I guess he and I were about the same age when I first went to said museum. Gosh, it's hard to imagine that I was so small at one point.

    @Pupo, you mean, like in Star-Fox?(Do a barrel roll!!!)
