This is great. On my « one day » build list.
In a similar vein, my 5yr old son has a flight log book - I started it for him as a baby. Every flight he gives asks one of the crew if the captain wouldn’t mind completing it. It logs route, aircraft and any events that happened. The crew _love_ this kind of thing - we’ve toured cockpits and crew rests and the messages are always gracious. He’s always beaming to get it back. Highly recommend it for little plane geeks.
- ctippett 3y agoMy father started a logbook for me when I was a toddler which I still keep updated to this day (I'm in my 30s). Every flight I've ever taken is in it. It's a really neat idea.
- oakmad 3y agoThat is so cool. I often wonder if I’ve been on this aircraft before, wish I had that data!
- cjrp 3y ago+1 on the logbook. We took my daughter London - New York when she was ~8 weeks old, and got some great photos from the cockpit, including her wearing the captain's hat.
- jakey_bakey 3y agoThat's genius, being invited into the cockpit felt extremely cool even as a grown adult, so I will absolutely get this started next time we get a flight
- alberto_ol 3y agoI thought that after 9/11 passengers were not allowed to visit the cockopit any more
- crote 3y agoThey are not allowed in there during the flight. When the plane is turned off and parked at the gate, the rules are a bit more relaxed.
- oakmad 3y agoYeah always at the gate upon landing - sigh, I’d love to jump seat to satisfy my curiosity
- pcardoso 3y agoperhaps, but my 10yo son was invited to land in the cockpit earlier this year. he loved it and will never forget it. (domestic flight, Europe)
