My Daughters First Flight in the family J-3! Finally took Amelia up in the Cub. She loved it.

When this little princess grows up and has children, she will show her children how she spent an incredibly beautiful time with their grandfather with this video. What a great memory.

As a father this video brought a lump to my throat...seeing the sheer joy in this little girls' face and hearing her sweet little voice as she told her father: "This is the best day, ever!"

THIS ❤️ is what it's all about! I was actually crying tears of joy as I watched this video. It brought back memories of my grandfather and his love of aviation... a passion I share with him and his memory ❤️. Sadly, I never got to fly in his J-3 Cub. A terrible thunderstorm struck 8A6 Wilgrove Airpark while he was out of town on business, and many airplanes were destroyed by the extreme winds. His was one of them. Watching your sweet flight with your daughter made me think of what could've been for my grandfather and me once. 😊 Thank you so much, Joe, for creating and sharing this special video. You and your family will always cherish this beautiful day. May God bless you always 🙏 ❤️

I used to take my daughter flying at that age. She's now 25 and a licensed pilot herself. In my family she is the 4th generation to become a pilot, but she is the first girl to get her license. These are priceless memories to have with our kids, thanks for sharing yours with the rest of us.

Wasn’t blessed with kids but as an international airline pilot and an occasional glider pilot, videos like this put a smile on my face.. congrats.. she’ll always cherish that day! ❤️ ❤️

This is exactly how I was introduced to Flying my dad had a cub 1947 I think. I know it had a Franklin engine. I was about the same age as this little girl. I sat in the front seat couldn't see anything out the front windshield had to look out the sides my dad was 6 ft 5 so i had his long legs next to me. I earned my pilot's license at 18 years old and ended up becoming a commercial pilot. I still remember taking my dad up few months before I had my license shortly before he died. I still don't regret bending the rules. No radio, no lights, no Electric System, a simpler time.

“Best day ever”!!! What a special daddy daughter moment!! Thanks for sharing this special video Joe!

She's a natural! Won't be long til she's got you sitting in the front seat Joe. Brilliant stuff...

It's wonderful that an 83-year-old plane can give so much joy to a young child. The result of an excellently designed and very well piloted machine.

"Are we flying now?" - love it from I'm scared to best day ever , this is fun - brings back memories of flying with my father when I was a kid. I remember the first time he made a bank turn. I looked down out the window and was scared. So I leaned way over against my dad. He said, "Are you scared?" - unlike this precious, honest girl who said she was scared, I said , "No, I just wanted to see out your window". I think I was 5 years old.

My dad was a flyer in WWII. When I was about 3 (1953) my dad took me flying in a J 3 Cub much like yours. What a thrill. It changed my life. Thanks for the video and the memory. Your daughters will remember this forever. Beautiful, just Beautiful!

You had me after pancakes. Pure gold. Brought back lots of great memories flying with my mom and dad just a bit older than Amilia. We all need to take notes on her pure joy of just running around in a circle on the grass.

Flying with her dad will be a memory that will stay with her forever!

This is the best thing I've ever seen on YouTube. Dad took me up in his Taylorcraft when I was about that age. I will never forget that ride. Neither will she.

I remember the first time I flew with my dad in our J-3 Cub.. I was 5 in 1949; we flew out of Hawthorne Municipal where had built his first hanger and machine shop.The Cub is still flying today out of El Monte Airport. I don’t remember how long we flew but I was hooked and continued to fly with him until he died in 1963 when I was 19. I never got my license or never went up in another private plane. The many hours I spent with him in our various planes and doing many hours with my hands and feet on the controls is and will be always the greatest time I ever spent with him.

How can you bring up pancakes if they're not available? That's crazy.

I may not word this right so bare with me. The thing I love about this is your setting the foundation for her on how her future man should treat her with respect, caring, concern and love. THAT is a true FATHERs job, hats off to you my man..... Best wishes for you all and safe flying.

My first aviation memory was information with my Dad’s 210. I was with my mom in her bonanza. My sisters was screaming for her mommy and remained just terrified. Meanwhile my mom was flopping the controls over to my side so I could see how the controls worked. I had to stand on the see]at to see outside. We flew up to Myrtle Beach to stay at a nice hotel on the beach. My granddad taught my mother in 37. My dad learned in a hurry to fly B17’s in 42. This month, I’ve had my license for 51 years. Flight kinda sticks to your ribs and you can’t stop. This lassie’s pink heads are so cute.

A moment to treasure forever. Daddy's and their little girls have a special bond and it's so cool to give them experiences like this. 🥰

The first time I went up in with my Dad in his plane, was about the same age.....I cried seeing this!!!! Now I fly 777's and others all over the world.....You should get this quote for her room, like my father did. "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ......She is so precious and she will always remember this! And my dad was a B-17 Pilot at the age of 23!
