A bit about my pilot background. A🧵: - I started dreaming about flying when I was 2yo. (Maybe before but I made this number up as I can't remember, but when I was a kid for sure). - I drew my first plane around 5yo. And all drawings had a plane in it after that. Drawing of mom, of course, look she is in a plane, you can see her eye through the window. A flower? Here's one with a plane flying over... - I went as a passenger on front seat in a DR200 at 6yo - I built my first model plane out of balsa wood with my teacher when I was 10yo. - I built one all by myself at 12 with a small 1.5cc gas engine. I still have it but it requires some repairs. Glue is cracking. - I drew my first plane blueprint at about the same age. - I wanted to be a pilot but poor seight made teachers tell me I could not. It's completely incorrect. Many fly with glasses. - then I discovered computer simulation and flew everything that looked like a plane. They were looking more like a pixel at the time but imagination does the rest.

Now this plane has been repainted since the first pic of me was decades ago. But still it keeps its promises and I pilot it now and can give a ride to my friends. The circle of life.

Pretty incredible that you fly the same hull you were eyeing as a kid. Heartwarming story, thanks for sharing

And now my 16yo son is helping on the mechanic on this plane. Ok, it's mostly because I'm not fit and thin enough to go under the instruments panel, but still...
