My roommate in college caught a bug from a questionable girl he took home from the bar. Does that count?
In Indonesia. River water. Nasty parasitic infection. Affected my brain.Anyway, just thought I’d start this thread so you could share when your passion to be a pilot was sparked.
Third generation (Mom was not a flight attendant) so I was always around it...now, regular hours suck and the rest largely reads like @BobDDuck's story.Nora Griswold and Clark SR were a Flight attendant and airline pilot + I saw top gun and had lots of airplane stuff as a kid + I hate regular type jobs and hours, boringggg + I like motor sports, speed and engines, etc. + I like making money while enjoying the work/ travel to earn it ( My wife describes it as having a hobby I get paid for) = becoming a pilot.
I would have liked to have been a flight director or flight controller, not necessarily an astronaut. As it turns out I'm also too stupid to do both of those jobs.Too stupid to be an astronaut
Our family vacation to Maine when i was 6 involved a Delta 727 PBI-BOS. We stayed the night at the Logan Hilton, I spent most of the night staring out the window watching planes. When I was in middle school I did a discovery flight as part of a science fair project. Most of my childhood I begged my parents to take me to the airport to watch planes which later involved photography, my other hobby.
I always wondered why the purple DC-10s never moved during the day down in FLL, luckily they occasionally do now .
My first takeoff in one happened to be at Ft. Lauderdale which i was lucky enough to get a local photographer to capture.
