[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON May-08-02 AT 09:38PM (EDT)[/font][p] I would just like to share the fact that I am also going up in two weeks for my intro flight. It stinks that I am only 12 though. I have to wait 5 more years before I can get my license.

Actually I am also going up with my aunt's father for fun in a few weeks, In his Cessna 182.

I hope you have a great time. It's worth the wait to fly and get your license. Now that I get to fly, I am having the best time of my life. I started flying spring semester my freshman year at Bowling Green State University. I have 95.9 hours in C-152s and C-172s (we have two 2000 R models and one 2001 R model, I love that new plane smell!). I am halfway done with my instrument which I should have by this upcoming Christmas. Then I'll work on my commercial and maybe after that cfi and multi. :) And, after that maybe (I'm praying here) I'll get to fly the T-37 or T-6A II!

I was 12 when I went on my first flight. Now i have about 6 months before I can get my licence. The first flight was the greatest thing i have ever done. I love every flight but the first one was extra special.
Hope you have fun.

Anyone here who is age 8 through 17 and has never gotten up in an airplane should check out the EAA's "Young Eagles" program that offers free introductory airplane rides. I do these rides every month during the summer (if you lived around here you could get a ride in the "DreamFleet" Piper Archer!).

Go here for more information:

Or look at what my local chapter does here:

Make sure you bring a camera with you. No matter how the terrain looks from the ground, it is breathtaking in the air. If you get the right time of day and the right light, it is magical.
