Why aviation

[acaTerry]

Guys and gals

I'm doing a little bit of a study here. Yes, a real one. How many of you are doing this because you love aviation / wanted it since you were a kid? If not, please give reasons why. I love a good smarta$$ reply as much as the next guy (why else come here?) but afterwards please put the real answer. All respondants get free breathing priveleges for a week.

Count me in, it's all I wanted since about age three.

Same here. Ever since I can remember I was fascinated with airplanes. Used to go to the observation deck (when they had one) in FNT when I was a kid and watch Piedmont 737's and Simmons (American Eagle) Shorts 360's take off and land. I thought that was the coolest thing ever.

Cool uniform and days off?

Honestly, I think most here would say that the passion existed since the time they first saw an airplane... at least for me.

I first flew an airplane in 1987, I was 27. Since my first exposure I have wanted it above all things!
