everyone needs to see this...

There are few things quite like the laughter of children.
A great start for my day! Thanks, man.
 
Go, Lea!

I don't think there's any doubt what her career choice will be. Move over Patty Wagstaff.

Cool! To bad I don't speak French.

But I do, so let me help here.

0:11- Pilot; C'est parti! (It's a go!)

1:11- Léa; Vas-y! Allez à l'envers! (Let's go! Go upside-down!)
1:27- Léa; C'est drôle! (It's funny!)
1:27- Pilot; Oui? (Yeah?)
1:29- Léa; C'est trop drôle! (It's too funny!)
1:37- Pilot; OK (after talking briefly with control)
1:38- Pilot; Là on a été sur le côté. (We just went on the side.)
1:39- Léa; Papa, encore la tète à-l'envers! (Daddy, again upside-down!)
1:41- Pilot; Oui? Attends Léa. Là, on a été sur le côté. On en refait un? (Yeah? Wait Léa. We went on the side. Do we do it again?)
1:45- Léa; Je veux encore la tête à-l'envers! (I want head upside-down again!)
1:47- Pilot; C'est parti! (Here we go!)
1:50- Léa; Papa, je veux encre la tête à-l'envers! (Daddy, I want head upside-down!)
1:54- Pilot; Oui! On y vas! (Yeah! Getting there!)

2:35- Léa; Encore la tête à-l'envers. (Head upside-down again.)
2:27- Pilot; Oui? On vas se reposer? On remonte... (Yeah? Do we take a break? We'll climb-up...)
2:39- Léa; Encore. (Again.)
2:40- Pilot; ... on remonte un p'tit peu. On en refait une fois puis on atterri. (... we climb-up a little bit. We do it one more time then we land.)
2:48- Léa; La tête à-l'envers! (Head upside-down!)
2:49- Pilot; On fait pareil? (We do the same?) Léa gives a "thumb-up".
2:53- Pilot; Et c'est parti! (And here we go!)
3:02- Léa; Tête à-l'envers! (Head upside-down!)
3:11- Léa; Encooooore! (Agaaaaaain!)
3:22- Léa; encOOOOOre! (agAAAAAAIIIIn!)
3:28- Léa; Encore! (Again!) (by now, you must have a good idea of the meaning of "encore" ::kilroy::...)
3:35- Léa; Encore! (do I really need to spell it out?)
3:30- Pilot; Voilà! C'tait bon? (That's it! Was good?)
3:43- Pilot; Maintenant, on vas atterrir. (Now, we're going to land.)
3:45- Léa; Encore! (what else...)
3:47- Pilot; Une prochaine fois Léa. (Next time Léa.)

I left the laughter aside as they are pretty much international.

I saw a piece on the news on TV last evening. As you may have guessed, the pilot is Léa's father. He was a military pilot and has a license to teach aerobatics. Mom was a flight attendant.

This was not Léa's first flight; at 3, she went with her father under the strict condition (imposed by Mommy) that no inverted flying would take place. Now that she's 4, she can take it! Don't you think?
 
Stowaway Cat

A friend of mine's father was Chief Pilot at an aviation service in Renton, Wa. Their family cat, a big stripey tom appropriately named Kittyhawk, was a frequent flyer, riding along on a special pad attached to the right shoulder strap of the safety harness of the pilot. Kittyhawk was "Check Pilot in Command" and would watch everything going on and make critical comments from time to time.

I figured this would be "how to make a baby throw up"...but no. This kid LOVES it.

Nothing is going to scare that kid. Dad should be scared ishless for when she is a teenager.

Sacre Bleu!
