Best advice I've gotten is from my pop. Don't ever push! Let them do it if it's their passion. In my dad's case it was trying to keep me doing OTHER things. Balance is key to life in many ways. It sucked then! When I went to Cub Scouts or drumming lessons, all I wanted to do is fly. Kinda like having steak for dinner all the time. Even a good elk backstrap would get old after a bit.

My son is almost 3 and is CRAZY about flying the sim, working with my tools in the shop and going to "Tickle Tree" (Triple Tree). He also has a Mr. Microphone and announces dinner, mommy's horse riding events and anything he can. My hope is that QuiQue's oldest son will be an announcer and Collin (my son) will be a World Champion pilot!! As long as he finds his own passion and behaves as a gentleman, I'll be down with it!!!

Glad you're passing the hobby to the next generation!!
