RON SWICORD (Bothell, Washington) captured a photo of his grandson, Johnathan, enjoying the April 2022 issue of Model Aviation. Ron wrote:
I started flying in 1973 and I fly three days a week in Seattle, weather permitting. I love biplanes of all sizes. I started my son, Scott, flying RC when he was 9 years old. He is now a pilot for Alaska Airlines.
My grandson has the aviation gene. When he’s outside, this almost-3-year-old boy points out airplanes in the sky. He loves to fly his toy airplane by hand in the house, doing hammerhead stalls and barrel rolls.
In approximately 6 years, we hope to have three generations flying at the same time.
