This is great. On my « one day » build list.

In a similar vein, my 5yr old son has a flight log book - I started it for him as a baby. Every flight he gives asks one of the crew if the captain wouldn’t mind completing it. It logs route, aircraft and any events that happened. The crew _love_ this kind of thing - we’ve toured cockpits and crew rests and the messages are always gracious. He’s always beaming to get it back. Highly recommend it for little plane geeks.

My father started a logbook for me when I was a toddler which I still keep updated to this day (I'm in my 30s). Every flight I've ever taken is in it. It's a really neat idea.

That is so cool. I often wonder if I’ve been on this aircraft before, wish I had that data!

+1 on the logbook. We took my daughter London - New York when she was ~8 weeks old, and got some great photos from the cockpit, including her wearing the captain's hat.

That's genius, being invited into the cockpit felt extremely cool even as a grown adult, so I will absolutely get this started next time we get a flight

I thought that after 9/11 passengers were not allowed to visit the cockopit any more

They are not allowed in there during the flight. When the plane is turned off and parked at the gate, the rules are a bit more relaxed.

perhaps, but my 10yo son was invited to land in the cockpit earlier this year. he loved it and will never forget it.

(domestic flight, Europe)

Yeah always at the gate upon landing - sigh, I’d love to jump seat to satisfy my curiosity
