My Son and I Secretly Got on My Pilot Husband’s Flight to Surprise Him — Then He Said Something Over the Speakers That Made Us Both Stop Smiling
My husband, Weston, has been a commercial pilot for almost nine years, but our seven-year-old son, Milo, had never actually been a passenger on a plane Weston was flying.
⸻
Milo talked about it constantly.
Every time Weston left for work, he’d ask, “Are you flying a big one today?” or “Do the passengers know you’re my dad?”
⸻
A few weeks ago, Weston mentioned that he’d been assigned a short Saturday flight to Cedarport and would be home before dinner.
That gave me an idea.
⸻
I’m usually terrible at keeping surprises from my husband, but somehow, I managed to pull this one off.
⸻
I bought two tickets without telling Weston. My plan was to bring Milo onto the flight, stay completely out of sight, and let Weston discover us after landing.
