Just wondering what got you interested in aviation?



My interest started when I was around 9 or 10. My dad brought me home two model aircraft kits - a Me-262 and a Sopwith Camel and I was hooked :)

Probably the airshows my dad took me too as a kid.



Although it could be the flight I went on as a 1 year old. :D


May they rest in peace, those graceful masters of the sky...

Happiness is Tomcat-Shaped.

I love the smell of jet fuel in the morning.
