I was so scared the first time I flew the flight attendant called me Whitey.
The first time I took a plane to dance in front of an audience outside France was when I was in the Paris Opera Ballet School, and we flew to Japan.
The first plane ride was in a homemade glider my buddy and I built. Unfortunately we didn't get more than four feet off the ground, because it crashed.
We left Dayton, September 23, and arrived at our camp at Kill Devil Hill on Friday, the 25th.
I remember the first time that I flew on an airplane overseas, it was about when I was seven; it was 1969.
I hate flying. The first time I flew with my wife, Najat, was the first time I'd ever flown in my life, and that was just a short flight to Turkey. I spent the whole time with my shirt pulled over my head. Then I got used to it.
I immediately loved flying from my first flight and knew that in some way it was going to be a part of my future career!
This is going to make me sound awful, but I was 18 when I took my first flight because the Prince of Brunei flew Mis-Teeq over to play at his birthday party! I was in business class being fed amazing food. I got over my fear pretty quickly.
My first flight was in my early 20s, from New York City to Los Angeles, to shoot a Cherry 7-UP commercial.
When I was up on my first flight, we were really putting it together. So, I was essentially a construction worker.
If you want to go into space first time on a new vehicle that's never been flown, you want to go with a pro.
Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight.
My first airplane trip was to Paris. I had this fantasy that I would become a model, and I did!
People think of me as well-travelled, but I had not been out of Pakistan until I was picked in the Under-19 squad in 1997. The flight went from Lahore to Karachi and then from Karachi to South Africa. It was my first time on a plane and my first trip overseas.
Totally uneventful. It was a very successful first flight. To be honest, it was a little bit boring.
The human bird shall take his first flight, filling the world with amazement, all writings with his fame, and bringing eternal glory to the nest whence he sprang.
I didn't get on a plane until I was 23, after I left Oxford and was teaching at Lucy Clayton Secretarial College in London.
My father's an early aviator, and my first flight was with him at age two. Now, despite the fact that I got sick on the flight, I still enjoyed it, I believe.
