We got to the airport early so we could watch a few planes before we got on ours, and get Chesney used to the idea. ( It was a complete waste of time though, because Chesney has NO fear. It was all just a walk in the park to him.) He did get a really neat miniature plane that makes noise and really looks like it is about to take off, so maybe not a complete waste.
When we were taking off he had the biggest smile on his face, better than Christmas morning. He sat and played, looked at the airline pamphlets, and generally had a nice quiet flight. The real fun came at the end of the flight. We asked one of the flight attendants if we could get a picture of Chesney with the pilot when we landed, and it was like "sure no problem". Little did we know he would get much more than that.
Chesney actually got sit in the cockpit with the pilot and he showed Chesney what a lot of the buttons did. One sounded like a woodpecker, and one made the plane talk.
It is something I hope he will always remember. Hopefully we get to have a few more flights in the future so he will always have a love of flying. ( I really appreciate all the people at Southwest airlines for making out trip so fun, and easy.)
