I'm with you Chinagirl and all the other wannabees - I just do! Its something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. I never even flew in an aircraft of any type until I was 16 and that was a chippy in the ATC, I never flew abroad until I was 20
But long before any of that i've had the urge to fly and I did all the geeky aircraft enthusiast things kids do. Despite doing a job I hate for the last 7 YEARS, I can honestly say being a pilot is the only career for me that would make me happy. Only time will tell if i'm right.
