God - "We are clear for takeoff"

I was just thinking about analogies for the Holy Trinity, and it came to mind that the Triune God resembles the Air traffic controller (God the Father), the people at the check-in desk (God the Son), and the pilot (The Holy Spirit). Okay, so real life people in these jobs are far from perfect, but in an ideal world, the analogy would be better.
It makes sense to me, but maybe someone else thinks this is ridiculous, brilliant, or acuse me of intellectual propery theft because this idea was soooo 2001.
Being a youth minister, I find I'm always trying to think of different ways to explain this stuff to highschoolers who either don't care, or don't understand it, so any input would be great.
