What got you into aviation?

When I was younger my family traveled a lot to Paraguay, three times per year. Practically growing and traveling almost ever trimester, I started to admire planes and this remains until today

Messing around with Extreme Landings when I was younger. Then I got obsessed and years latter I know how to start up to shut down operate 4 different aircraft, in numerous simulators. (Infinite Flight for fun) professional sims is my bread and butter.

I don’t remember, but my passion brought me here, which has only grown it :)

I flew to Budapest a lot (I have family there), was never really interested until I went for the first time after Covid (Sep 2023) after that I keep getting called a ‘Plane Nerd’ and I truly am 🤓

I had a toy plane model when I was a kid back then in China and we would also often times take a plane when we’re on vacation so when I was at the airport, I became fascinated with planes taxiing, taking off and landing.

Flying as an airline passenger.

And who’s not interested in the general idea of flying?

The science behind how these heavy machines fly is just amazing.

My mom was a flight attendant, so we got to fly on standby to go back to see family. One of my first times flying (that i remember), I got a window seat and from that point on I was hooked.

The First thing that got me into aviation was my dad. As a child I still didnt fully get into aviation. Skip to 2022 when My first flght accured when we went to florida flying on a southwest 737 max 8. I thought that was really cool but that still did not fully get me into aviation. Skip again to this year In the summer when I flew united to san diego. I flew from Washington Dulles International (KIAD) when we were walking to our gate looking for some food I saw the Buetiful King of the sky’s, The A380-800 from emirates. That amazed me today to start liking aviation today I have 24 models and I draw planes for the fun of it. My first ever drawing was the Emirates A380 and I imporved from there.

That’s all you need to become a avgeek :)
