I regret I didn't ever learn how to fly a plane. I had the opportunity when I started to make some money, and I regret I didn't really take the time out and put the effort in and do that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was hooked on aviation, made model airplanes, and never thought I would be able to fly myself. It cost too much. But then World War II came along and changed all that.
I hate flying. Know why? Because no one really understands how planes actually work.
I loved flying as much as I thought I would and continue to fly aircraft.
When I started flying, I realized how enjoyable it was, and flying became my main focus while engineering went on the back burner.
I don't regret anything I've ever done. I only wish I could have done more.
I always liked airplanes, and I decided I was going to go to school to study them.
I longed to fly. I was paid in flying lessons and, by the time I was 13, I'd logged 100 hours at the controls.
I learned to fly an airplane, and had my own airplane during the 1960s.
I read, studied, and learned everything I could find about aviation. It was my greatest desire to become a pilot. I could already picture myself in the cockpit of an airliner or in a military fighter plane. I felt deep in my heart this was my thing!
I started flying because I had a fear of it early on. I figured if I learned to fly, I would understand better what was happening and started taking lessons in the late 1950's, once I had made some money on tour.
