“This is my first time on a plane!” announced Colton the six-year-old as he stepped foot on the plane.

The flight attendant, Lorinda, immediately responded with a proposition.

“Do you want to drive?” she said, pointing to the cockpit. Colton’s eyes lit up and he walked straight to the pilots.

Colton shared that he was on a plane for the first time, heading to Tennessee to drop his brother off for college.

The pilots were so excited for him! They hopped out of their seats to let Colton take a picture near the controls. His grin was from ear-to-ear.

Once Colton returned to his seat, he was geeked for takeoff.

“Eat gum while an airplane is taking off,” the six-year-old advised. Colton knows all the tricks!

Once the plane was in the air, an announcement came on regarding snack delivery.

“We have a special helper today!” Lorinda announced over the speaker. “His name is Colton, and it’s his first flight ever, so he’s going to help me with the snacks today.”
