I suppose I was six and went up in a single-engine job at a local general aviation airport.

My first commercial flight was when I was 18, flying from Wichita to Washington DC on a college choir tour. We connected through St. Louis, and I got to sit next to Megann Martin (but I was stupid and fell asleep...)

I belive about 9 years ago I flew on MetroJet, you know, that garbagy airline, launched by US Airways. What I don't understand, is why MetroJet was launched considering US airways is/was a low cost carrier anyways.

in about 3rd grade, in a 4 passenger private plane ride set up through the cub scouts. It was about 30 minutes long, and it felt like it lasted 5 minutes. What a rush!

The very first time I was in an airplane, I was the pilot. I was so scared, but once we took off, I was having the time of my life. I was doing aerobatic maneauvers i probably shouldnt have been doing, and managed to make myself sick. I did have a CFI (flight instructor with me) It was a C172, and probably the best and most memorable experience i will ever have. oh by the way i was 18. this was an awesome question, readin everyones experiences was interesting. oh ya, i am now a pilot, and have actually flown on an commercial airplane. also very exciting.

I went from Antwerpen-Belgium to London...and back again. It was just for the flight as I had never done that before.
Now I fly regularly...

I was 10 years old and flew with my parents to crete. I was very nervous I still remember...

@Northville: r u sure u ever went to Tel Aviv?? Because u dont find any tanks and bullet holes there and never did! Tel Aviv is the most modern city in Israel and its like any american city. The tanks are in the palestinian territories.

from Grand Rapids Michigan to Tel Aviv Israel- what an eye opener- I was terrified of all the soldiers with guns, tanks on the streets and gun holes in the buildings- when I got to Rome, I wanted to kiss the ground.
