Hello Friends of Pilot Pete and the Ready Room Crew, We have been crazy busy here with all sorts of aviation excitement: The love of aviation as a generational tradition in our family. My father, who learned to fly in bi-planes, shared his love of flying with me. Recently, I was able to explore the Kern County Sheriff AirOne helicopter with my son Jonathan and grandson J.J. I have been instructing the father-son duo of Rick and Mike Sazama who are starting their own aviation traditions. They took their first solo flights on the same day and are well on their way to getting their Private Pilot Licenses. Aviation is a great way to have new adventures, make memories and start traditions with all your loved ones. So: TAKE FLIGHT!

HI Friends of Pilot Pete and the Ready Room Crew, These photos are just an example of a child's imagination sparked by Aviation for Adventure, Fun and Learning.
