‘I love aviation.’
Great!
As an ordinary citizen, I love flying, if only the little amount I’ve done.
Told our (adult) kids if I’m in a crash, don’t feel bad for me, as I love to fly. . . .
An aside: Many in my family worked for Grumman on Long Island - as did I for a very short while - builder of all those ‘cat’ planes from WWII on, before it was Northrup Grumman, so I am steeped in a bit of aviation.
But I don’t believe that has a bearing on loving to fly,
does it - - ??!
Well, it is said that flying is in the blood, so you definitely might have a genetic component...:)
I have loved aviation since I read “Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo” when I was seven. I got my first sight of real military planes when I landed at Tachikawa AFB when my dad got orders to Yokosuka, Japan. After our plane landed, we taxied past a long row of F4 Phantoms, painted in black and dark green camouflage.
Then, when I lived at Subic Bay, I used to go to the airfield up at Cubi Point and walk all around the planes...the Crusaders...Corsairs, Phantoms and Intruders. Hahaha, now you wouldn’t get within a half mile of them.
