First Flight

I don't remember where exactly. It was domestic between two American cities. I still remember the sensation of the jet engines throwing me back into the seat. It was exciting. I knew the theory of flight. I knew why planes lift. It was exciting to see and feel the power of the engines for the first time. I still like it.

I was seventeen, and I was flying from Newark, NJ to Cleveland OH. That lift into the air was the most thrilling thing, and I gazed out the window all the way there. I still love flying, too!

First time was to Miami for my husbands work. I’m not a fan of flight. It’s a necessity but i would rather not fly.

First flight was as 13-14 years old in an open cockpit WACO biplane at a local airshow.

Wow. That reminds me I had an earlier flight as a teen too. It was a paid trip up in a small plane. It was fun and a bit unnerving.

That sounds thrilling, Duke!

14 years old - family deployed from California to Okinawa, Japan. That’s a very long flight to be on having never experienced flight before and especially sitting next to my Mom who was extremely afraid to fly.
