I was born a year after Lindbergh made his historic trip across the Atlantic. Boys like either dinosaurs or airplanes. I was very much an airplane boy.

I was a big aviation buff as a boy.

I always liked airplanes, and I decided I was going to go to school to study them.

From a very early age, I wanted to fly aeroplanes.

Growing up, I was fascinated with Buck Rogers' airplanes. As I began to mature in World War II, it became jets and rocket planes. But it was always in the air.

As a boy, my favorite show was 'Superman' and my favorite movie was 'Star Wars' - along with other science fiction shows and movies. And I always wanted to fly.

I did a little bit of flying in high school, but I've just always been inspired and excited about airplanes.

Growing up in the '60s and early '70s, with the space flight and the Apollo program, I always loved planes. I always loved rockets and I always loved space travel.

I wanted to fly when I was little.

For the longest time, I thought I was a boy. I really did. I wore boys' clothes, played tag football.
