And this is on final approach... that's one tough kid.

The kid's hair looks pretty good for what he's been through. He must use that extra strong hold stuff.

Obviously Photoshopped.
Look at the altimeter — it's reading 7500 feet.

Good call... I almost fell for it.

Darn! Had me fooled. I was thinking the father had taken TYKTWD to new heights.

Great catch BB...

I'm really glad I saw your post; I was about to call child services...

Don't be so quick Jim, there are a lot of airports with elevations above 7000 feet worldwide, even quite a number in the US.

Laramie, WY comes to mind.

I never flew into it, but I recall an airport in Leadville, Colorado, which was pretty high as well.

I wonder if the pilot altimetry was set for AGL or MSL?

If this airport sits at 7000 MSL, then the altimeter reading in this cockpit, if set on AGL, could be close to correct. The plane appears to be about 500 feet above the runway.

Regardless, I feel BB is correct with his thoughts on this image being photoshopped.

Yeah I’m sure I that picture was taken when the kid was much higher off the ground

Yeah, the kid’s father made it look lower so he wouldn’t be accused of child endangerment.

. . . and no helmet.

I'm sure he's safe - you just can't see the duct tape. No-one in his right mind would take the kid up like that without making sure he was secure.

They missed the fine print on the Kids Fly Free promotion.
