I was thirteen when I flew with my teacher's father in his Beechcraft 4 seater. I got to actually take the wheel for a minute and was beyond thrilled. I did not fly on a commercial flight until I was 38 and my company flew me from Kansas City to San Francisco for a meeting. After that I flew quite a lot, but that first flight was very memorable.
