Thanks Doug. Dad got me started at age 7 with a 5 cent glider (remember those....came in a plastic bag and went together in 5 seconds? I got my first ride in his 1966 Champion 7GCAA 150 hp Citabria when I was about 13. I got to hold the wings level and try to keep it at 2000' which slowly became 4000'. Been hooked ever since  I had to wait until I turned 16 for the private pilot, until I turned 18 for the Commercial Pilot Licence and was the first pilot to hold a letter of competence from the FAA when I was 20 to keep my flying job (Part 135-2 air taxi). The regulations changed and required the Airline Transport Pilot rating to fly 135-2 but I was already working for a carrier and the reg would cause me to lose my job due to being underage. On my 23rd birthday they issued my formal ATP rating.But nothing compares to aerobatic R/C flying. Nowadays dear ole' dad is grounded and only does hangar flying
