Default Unscientific survey - why are you a pilot?

A response of mine in another thread got me to thinking (dangerous, I
know) about what makes a person *want* to become a pilot.


At 6 years old I sat in my father's lap in the cockpit of a DC-3 while we
flew over the Andes. That's still one of the coolest things I've ever
done.

Did that make an aviation lover out of me? That may have done it, but I'll
never know.

I honestly believe it's nature, not nurture. Some people want the window
seat, some people want the aisle seat... I think you're born with it.
