For every one of you that got into a cockpit I hope you know there were probably 5 more kids in the plane that didn't get to go and they probably have depression now. I know I do.

Grem posted:The more goons that post they got to go into cockpits the more angry I get I think it's important you know I got to do it multiple times as a kid, and even saw the transition from pins on the pilot wings they gave you to sticker backs, so they were reusable at first and wound up lovely and disposable later. I also remember in the 90's pilots would frequently leave the door open and you could wave or chat. Wonder why that stopped.

I got to do this when I went through a childhood phase of thinking everything and everyone would kill me. I don't really know why seeing all those buttons and stuff didn't really make me less scared but the pilots were nice to me.

I got to go in cockpits and get wings when I was a kid because my mom's family lived in Honolulu (where she was born) and my dad is a rocket scientist whose main launch site was Barking Sands PMRF, so I lucked out on the airplane, dad's job and family location lottery (the rest of the family is in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky so it evened out. We drove to those ones  ).edit: I got to go in the cockpit of an L-1011 TriStar once lol MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Apr 23, 2024 |

My dad cashed in a huge favor of some kind and got me a ride-along in an F-16 2-seat trainer for my 14th birthday. If it wasn't illegal, it should have been.

isaboo posted:I remember being allowed into the cockpit for a few minutes when I was around 8 or 9. They gave me a pair of plastic wings to pin on my shirt. That would have been 1979 or 1980, and I was flying alone. Pretty sure it was my first time flying. This is also exactly what I remember from the late '70s. Being able to meet the flight crew and, very briefly, see the cockpit. And get my little gold plastic wings. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

When I was a kid I would fly alone sometimes and I got to see the cockpit and meet the pilots a couple of times as a treat. Flights were more expensive back then but they were nicer. Full meals. Free use of blankets, pillows, and playing cards. No TSA bullshit.

Pac and Cheese posted:don't most kids now not even remember flights cause they're too conked out on benadryl. you take these funny pills and shut up for the whole flight and wake up on the other side of the world Do parents still do this stuff? I think I was 30 something when I realized it's kind of weird to sedate your kids off-label because you don't want to deal with them. Then again I always ask if any of my dogs vaccines have expired because I like that she takes naps. But at least she definitely needs every vaccine because she will probably explode like an overstuffed sausage full of parasites and diseases within 24 hours of letting any of them lapse.

I was 10 the first time I flew and they tried to get me into the cockpit but there was a bunch of turbulence so it never happened. The next time I flew I wasn't cute anymore so nobody offered. C'est la vie. edit: I got a little American Airlines pin though. That was sort of neat.

It's not during flights but the most hilarious cockpit tour I ever saw was this absolutely hammered 20 something go "oooh can I see the cockpit" during deplaning while her friends tried to stop her. The pilots let her in and she was excitedly telling her friends "seeeee, it's not a big deaaaaaal."
