Prove My Theory Right
I have a theory, based on flying and talking with so many pilots.
How many of you knew, from a very early age (3-7 years old) that you were going to be a pilot??
I am convinced there are two professions like this: pilots and firefighters.
So, at what age did you know FOR SURE, you were going to fly airplanes?

My first flight was probably 5, TWA To London. I got a tour of the cockpit on the way there. I loved it but I didn't think about career. Then I saw 2001 A Space Odyssey. That's when I knew I wanted to be a Pan Am space shuttle pilot.

Valid... I remember seeing Top Gun for the first time when I was in elementary school. I recently saw that movie again when it came back to theaters a few months ago. It's a lot cooler movie when you're eight.
The awesome thing about aviation is that it's one of the few things in life that's been way better than I expected.

General Aviation
Was interested in aviation/space from an early age (3rd grade) - probably since I grew up around Marine Corps aviation.
Didn't start PPL training until my wife gave me an intro ride for xmas at age 28. I just needed the push, so it's her fault
