12th Birthday - Got a scanner
13th Birthday - Was impressed by all the slick sounding pilots so I had to go and try it for myself .... Cessan 152 - Hooked!
14th Birthday - Had to go and try it .... again, this time in a PA 28
15th Birthday - Had to go and try it.... yet again
- Another PA 28
16th Birthday - Yup, again... Cessna 152
17th Birthday - Had to sacrifice a trail lesson for all the PPL equipment (my words on that day were 'ohhhhh **** yes!!')
I bet my parents wish they never bought me a trial lesson! Hooked at an impressionable age leads to an expensive career path!
