Why Do Fathers Experience Premature Graying?

In summary: but mostly because it's funny to see people's reactions when they realize that even though they might look "old", they're still pretty darn young when it comes to life experiences.fortunately my daughter inherited some of my fear of heights/falling ( self preservation) and she is very happy with just doing lots of mountain trail hikes

With the new posts I am also reminded to check up on 19 year old Zara on her record setting world-circumnavigation solo trip, and it appears she is scheduled to complete this Thursday Jan 20th (with live coverage I believe), making her trip taking 5 month! Dispite her young age I bet she already has some pretty fantastic aviation stories to tell by now. I sure hope they put up a good video summary of her trip at some point.

After her arrival, she will give the State of the Union address!

The last but one is very dramatic - the last quiet moment in the hangar, then the doors open and we roll out to meet the press/take off into battle/whatever.😁

Training for an IFR rating is intense! The cognitive limits of the conscious mind becomes very apparent when trying to monitor 3-4 things in your instrument scan while also trying to figure what is wrong when they don't add up. Having a knack for multitasking (or rather, quick task switching) sure is a bonus here (I suck at that).

I look forward to see pics of your daughter flying with the windshield visually blocked off. :smile:

I just emailed her letting her know about this. Hope she'll send me a photo of that.

I went back to #47 I liked that photo. Concentration meets wonder and joy.
Reminds of that a little bit. Great pic as is this.

I went back to #47 and it looks like the same photo. I'm thinking my daughter must have not realized that it was an old photo.

Here's a good image of my daughters face:

That's great.
That look is, "I got this and it's awesome. Any questions?"

My son dives (and other stuff like traveling) I hate it, which is why resonated with this thread that started in 2017.

Beautiful post.

Water or air?

If air, maybe dads can introduce them, and she can drop him off somewhere. :oldbiggrin:

Sometimes I still get a few gray hairs:

I just received this in an email:

I am up in Fort Morgan preparing for the first aerobatic contest of the season. I will be here until Sunday.

Here are some photos that my daughter just sent me. I think they are from her aerobatic contest and the last one is from getting her instrumentation rating.

In the late, lamented Ukraine thread, I pointed out that there were a couple hundred F-14's in the desert. If she really wants to do aerobatics...

Didn't know where to put this, but it makes me think of my daughter:

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WIFR) - A new statue was unveiled at the U.S Capitol buildings Statuary Hall on Wednesday that honors the legendary pilot, Amelia Earhart.

... 125th anniversary of her birth in Kansas.

So they both were born in Kansas? Does you daughter know this?

(oops, maybe ixnay on mentioning that to her -- last thing we need is her taking off on an around-the-world solo flight...)

Yes. I emailed here with that link and quoted the same.

Now this post fits, as I'm getting more gray hair now.

Oh noes! Maybe just remind her how boring the trip would be? That should put it right out of her head! :oops:
