Co-pilots

On our trip to Pittsburgh we had a stop in Maryland. As we were waiting for the other passangers to board the plane Eliana was very curious of the cockpit since it was open and you really never see it open anymore. So I told her that is where the pilot sits when he flies the plane and the flight attendant said that we were able to go up closer if we would like. So we went closer and another flight attendant said that we were able to go ahead and go into the cockpit. This caught me off gaurd but in we went and the pilot was wonderful. He let Eliana sit down and push some of the controls and the accelerator. He explained what a few of the controls did. He also wanted her to said Hi to baba over the radio but she was way to shy to do that! I wish she would have done that - Fadi would of loved it!! The pilot asked if I had a camera and I said, "of course- I never go anywhere without it". He let me sit in his seat and he took our picture!!!
