I found out through a contact at work that our local Air Museum has open cockpit days and being from Dayton, Ohio (the birthplace of aviation Tad) I couldn't resist taking the kids (Everett and Papa).
We all had a great time. The first plane we came upon was a Corsair. After waiting in line I took Everett up the stairs to the cockpit. I sat him down, he played with the joystick and moved the rudder. After he was done I took him down the stairs to where Papa was waiting for us. I expected to move on but Papa handed me his jacket, said "my turn now," and hopped up the stairs into the cockpit.
Here he is in a couple of the cockpits.
"Officer in Charge." Isn't that the truth.
Here he is in an old Coast Guard Helicopter.
Overall we had a great time, a good boys' day.
