If you meet somebody who says he or she has never dreamed of flying, I don't believe you. I mean, they're lying.
I read, studied, and learned everything I could find about aviation. It was my greatest desire to become a pilot. I could already picture myself in the cockpit of an airliner or in a military fighter plane. I felt deep in my heart this was my thing!
My whole life, I wanted to be a fighter pilot; it's what I wanted to do. I set up all of my classes for it, but I got lazy my senior year in high school and didn't get my paperwork in.
As a kid I wanted to be a pilot.
Real flight and dreams of flight go together. Both are part of the same movement. Not A before B, but all together.
I tried to join the RAF cadets at school so I could fly a plane but then I realised you had to do all the other cadet stuff like training before they let you in a plane. Then you're roped in for life.
Growing up, I wanted to be a pilot!
From a very early age, I wanted to fly aeroplanes.
