I like that.  I wonder how old papa pilot is now.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

too many "gauges" dad ..... it could be simpler i'm sure 

for now, cheers

That pride in dad's eyes can be definitely seen 😊

Mobile rig: ASUS Zenbook UM425QA (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H APU @3.2 GHz and boost disabled, 1 TB M.2 SSD, 16 GB RAM, Windows 11 Pro). Running FS9 there .

VKB Gladiator NXT Premium Left + GNX THQ as primary controllers. Xbox Series X|S wireless controller as standby/mobile.

ive had this a few times in my career.

father / son -- never an issue.

father / daughter   -- the father was a training skipper and wasnt allowed to do any of her line checks but could do regular flying together. 

husband / wife   --  although they couldnt fly together due company rulings (as if there was an accident and they both died the kids who loose both parents)

Ive even had 2 identical twin brothers as cabin crew that we couldnt roster together due to them both doing the safety demo at the same time on each side of the aisle "would be too confusing for the pax" and it was deemed a safety risk so we couldnt roster them together.  Shame really because they were both good lads and completely identical.
