These two Golden Retrievers love flying in small plane cockpits with their owner.

Ever since Justin Coleman's two dogs Gus and Dora were 12 weeks old they have joined their owner in his RV-9A aircraft on scenic flights around Denver, Colorado.

Adorable images show two-year-old Gus sat proudly next to 42-year-old Justin, watching intently out of the cockpit as they take off and looking down at the ground below.

Unable to hide his enjoyment, Gus even tries to paw at passing planes thinking they are birds while sticking his tongue out.

The engineer says he has even adjusted the plane for the dogs - removing the stick on the passenger side so that they cannot knock it when moving around in their seat.

'While taxiing the airplane, the canopy of the airplane can be open so he sticks his head out looking and smelling for squirrels and birds.

'Even when it's closed and we're thousands of feet up in the air, he's doing the same thing.

'Gus has shown an affinity for steep turns and momentary negative Gs so we do that occasionally.

'He has been up with me on a few formation flights and is intently focused on the airplane I'm flying next to, pawing at the window as he thinks it's a bird.
