Back in '64 a friend of my father who owned a Piper Comanche at Payar
Lebar, Singapore (when it was a really little airport) offered me a
flight with him after noticing this shy kid day after day hanging
around the airfield fence watching the flights coming and going. My
mother said "No!" but you know what kids are like. In the end I
sneaked on a flight with him over Singapore City and I was hooked for
life.Just like you, except in my case it was a career in the RAF. That
was 44 years ago and I'm still hooked!

My mother is still almost as scared of flying now as she was when she
forbade me to go, but she'll come flying with me. :-) Result!!
