This is the first aerobatic ride fof my 4yo daughter. She asked me to go in flight and do inverted things. So, we discussed, review the figures and went to fly ;)

If you are ever down and need an instant pick-me-up, watch this video of an aerobatic pilot doing tricks with his daughter as a passenger for the first time and your mood will improve greatly. The good stuff starts at about 50 seconds in.

You'd think taking a four-year-old on a hair-raising aerobatic plane flight might be too scary for a youngster.

Well, think again.

One pilot, who is the president of Quebec’s Aviation RL, decided to take his daughter on one such ride.

Aircraft dashcam footage recorded this month shows Leá laughing hysterically as her father Raphael performs multiple loops in the air.

The four-year-old can't quite get enough of the experience.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that young Léa loves to fly — her father is a pilot, her mother a flight attendant.

“She’s been flying with me since the age of two. Every time I go, she asks to come with me,” said Léa’s dad, Nolinor Aviation pilot Raphael Langumier.

He continued: “She’s been watching YouTube videos of flying, and saw someone going upside down, so she asked me to do it.

“I talked her through it, made sure she really wanted to do it and explained what would happen.

“When we touched down, she asked me, ‘when we can do that again?’ straight away.”

The family lives in the middle of Lachute Air Park, a fly-in community northwest of Montreal, so the youngster can watch airplanes land and take off all day long.
