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.
