Every once in a while, we'd ask my dad if we could get a ride in one of these planes. And, he did take us to the flying club and get us a ride in the Pushpak and a glider that the flying club had.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dad endorsed my learning to fly so he would have a live-in pilot, one he could get in touch with at any time.
From a very early age, I wanted to fly aeroplanes.
My daddy was a World War I pilot, and I just wanted to be able to fly like he did.
Dad went to Canada to learn how to fly with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He took me on my first airplane ride, where I could have a hand on the stick.
I've had a chance to fly a lot of different airplanes, but it was nothing like the shuttle ride.
My dad served in two wars has been flying airplanes for 60 years now. He was certainly quite an inspiration.
I love flying planes.
I did a little bit of flying in high school, but I've just always been inspired and excited about airplanes.
Boys like either dinosaurs or airplanes. I was very much an airplane boy.
The first plane ride was in a homemade glider my buddy and I built. Unfortunately we didn't get more than four feet off the ground, because it crashed.
