When I was a child, I didn't fly - we couldn't afford to fly. Flying was for rich people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to fly when I was little.
From a very early age, I wanted to fly aeroplanes.
I love to fly. I always wanted to fly. It's been one of my dreams since I was 3 years old. I remember saying to my mom, 3 years old, every day, 'I can fly!' Living on the ninth floor, it was dangerous.
I spent my entire childhood living abroad because of my father's occupation, so we were on long-haul flights all the time.
I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway, but on top of that, I was able to fly to different cities.
My parents would never throw the kids in first class for the flights; they'd be up front, and we'd be economy - we knew we were lucky just to be travelling.
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.
If I were really rich, I would be flying places, I think.
Aviation is for the common man. My goal is to enable everyone to fly. It shouldn't be only for the rich.
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.
