But first I still have to go to a good university for the types of degrees that I need for the future. Thank you for your information, and your story. When I was little I always used to stay at my grandparents place for part of the holidays.
As I grew older I went to my first flight to my Aunty and Uncles house, this was on an Air New Zealand Q, I researched about this plane and this is when my passion of aviation really started, I kept looking around on the internet for more information about Air New Zealand planes.
When I arrived at the airport to board my flight I saw all of these different planes and I attempted to identify them I could only identify a few. When I got to the plane I was amazed at it, I was looking and looking at all the different parts. After I got back home from their place I also flew on another Q I researched more and more about aircraft, I realised how big the industry was and how many airlines and aircraft there were in the world.
After that I convinced my parents to go on a weekend trip to Wellington, we flew on an A which is the biggest aircraft I have flown on so far, It was such a different feeling being on a jet, it was only a short 30 minute flight at night, but I still loved it!!
It felt cool and I was looking out the window at the wings moving and I thought it was amazing! A few months later I flew on another Q again to my Aunty and Uncles place, but on the return I flew in a ATR , I was disappointed on this flight as it felt all dark and gloomy, but it was cool as we were turning on final into NZCH I saw the Emirates 77W take to the skies which I thought was so cool!
It has been a yearly thing now, that I fly to my Aunty and Uncles place, I try to fly and a Q each time as they have been my favourite aircraft on this route.

It was awesome reading your story. I still have all of my brain cells, but I was always attracted to turbine powered aircraft because of the unique smell. Its quite different than that of a piston running off LL.
Having to have been able to fly and live with someone near planes is awesome. Always loved traveling. Than at the age of 8 got into live atc and flightware. Slowly as the years progressed starting reading about airplanes ans what makes than fly. Over the next 10 years my family and I would continue to travel and with many cockpit visits and talking to local pilots I finally wanted to get a pilots license.
After about an hour of jjstc flying and touching the controls we landed back and did a little debrief. So after 3 months of trying to find an instructor no one would take me cause I was 15, we finally found an instructor and went flying.
After my intro flight. I continued my PPL training with lessons once a week and as I got closer to solo it was more often. Than I finally did my solo CC and it was time to take my Written. Great topic you have here. I actually wrote up a story a while back that pretty much answers this question. What also got me interested in aviation is just seeing how massive aircraft are. Even a is giant. I vividly remember my first conscious memory of the airport. The ability to fly from one side of the world to another in a matter of hours is one thing, but within a metal structure weighed down with equipment is just mind-boggling.
Of course I could not mention the ever-changing views outside the window, nor the experience aboard the aircraft itself… whilst travelling the world that is. It is also the perfect excuse to catch up with people whom I now call my best friends, and exercise those Frequent Flyer benefits too. Do I get bored?
