The first time I ever flew was with the EAA Young Eagles program. I remember it like it was yesterday- even though it was 14 years ago! I was 14 years old and my dad took me and my younger brother to Meigs Field in Chicago. The pilots name was Steve and we flew in a his Cessna 172. The most memorable part was the rush I felt as we lifted off the runway and I thought to myself about how it was most excited I had ever been. To this day, I still have that feeling every time I takeoff in an airplane!

I don't remember my first time. I was very young, maybe 4 or 5. I have seen pictures of it, though. It was in a Piper Cub, just around the patch a bit. I must have totally enjoyed it, though, because I've been hooked on aviation ever since!

I was 21.
I got a job where they flew me out of Bradley International airport in Hartford CT 3-4 days a week to all kinds of locations. Then, I'd pick up a new car and deliver it to it's new owners. I loved it...! I loved flying and I love driving those expensive new cars, and I've loved flying ever since...! ;-)

I flew to Florida ever summer from 1yr-18yrs. My grandparents lived there. I loved flying, I haven't went in years, and am afraid of all the changes they have made because it's nothing like what it used to be like, with all the procedures and safety issues. I would love to take my hubby, he has never been and he is almost 30.

At 35, I flew out to San Francisco.
I felt very apprehensive during this flight.
We had a bad thunderstorm at Kennedy Airport on my return flight and I can still remember how clammy my hands were getting waiting for the delayed landing.

I didn't fly any place until I was 20 and then I flew to Alaska. I went to Alaska because I moved there for about 5 years. Once I got to Alaska, then I flew a lot of places because that is kind of the only good way to get around. On one of my flights in Alaska, I was coming back down to Seattle, Washington for a visit and water from outside of the plane kept dripping in on my head, the whole way. I think flying is fun.

I can't remember my first flight. I was only a few months old.
But I enjoy flying, if that's your question. Being an army brat, living overseas, we flew quite a bit.

I was quite late. I was 18 when I first flew. It was a vacation, and we flew from Düsseldorf to Gran Canaria. The flight was o. k., nothing special except for the dumb tourists applauding the pilot on landing.

I first flew when I was 15 years old, to Roanoke, Virginia via Allegheny Commuter and Piedmont Airlines.
First leg of the trip was from Philadelphia International to Washington, DC(National,not Dulles)on a DeHaviiland Twin Otter commuter prop plane. From National I boarded a Boeing 737(Piedmont Airlines). The trip back, boarded a DC-6 of Piedmont Airlines(the DC-6 is a four-engined prop plane)and back at Washington(National)boarded another Allegheny Twin Otter.
I loved it. That trip was the beginning of my love of aviation and flying!

I saw a photograph that says I got to fly in a small private plane when I was about 3 months old. Don't remember it at all.

At age 5 I flew across the Atlantic returning to Canadian Air Force base Penhold in western Canada from the Canadian Air Force base in Zweibruken, Germany ... my father was an Air Force Fire Fighter for Crash & Rescue ...
I did not like the noise or the vibrations of the 'new' 1965 jet or how long the flight took ... but I loved the view from up there ...

A few months old. My dad's company paid for a bunch of employees to take a trip to Hawaii. On the next flight I went on I was still too young to remember and it was to Maine. There was another trip to Maine I can barely remember, and more recently I have been to Colorado, and Washington, D.C. and very soon I will be going to London.
