The Newest Aviator

[jaxpilot]

Hello everyone,
I have been lurking around for the last month or so, but haven't really had much to say, until now.

I wanted to introduce the newest aviator - Samuel Santiago Fertitta. We adopted him from Guatemala and just got him home last week. He is 7.5 months old, and did really well on the two plane rides home. He loved watching the arrivals and departures from ATL while we were wating to take off, so there is hope he will be bitten early by the aviation bug.

Thanks!
I'm negotiating with his momma to take him to Sun-n-Fun. Not much luck yet.

Paul,

What a beautiful boy. You and your wife must be exceptionally proud. It shows!

Hey Sam, can you say, "low wings rule?" Come on..... "low wings rule."

He knows low wings rule, but his mom has him a bit confused - she put up beach scene wallpaper border, that has a 172 on floats that repeats throughout the border.

But he will learn where "real" planes have their wings! LOL

Paul, congratulations on your new son! He's a cutie, and you both look very happy. You'll bring each other happiness for years to come.

Hey Paul, a true Mitzvah you have done, congrats and warmest wishes for a long, happy and healthy life for all.

I agree that low wings rule, except with seaplanes, there you can make the exception without being a traitor.
