Do you remember your first time on a plane? Or have you never been on a plane?

I remember my first time on a commercial plane in 1968. I don't remember my first time on a private plane which I think was before that.

My father had a pilot's license. He was in a club with a large number of people sharing the costs of a plane, so it was not too expensive. He didn't have the license long because he failed the physical. He used to take us up flying. I remember that well, but I don't remember my fist time. I remember him practicing stalls - which meant he just cut off the engine while we were flying. The plane would fall and my stomach did funny things because we were dropping so fast. He did that several times when I was in the plane. I think he got a kick out of it.

Actually wholesome, thanks for sharing. 🙏🏼

Starting when I was maybe 13, around 1967, I flew several times in a private airplane. My dad had a friend who owned a Piper Tri-Pacer and later a Beech Bonanza.
The right and left seats both had controls. The pilot taught me how to make level turns and simple maneuvers like wing overs and simple stalls. I eventually got to shoot some touch and goes (land and then take off without stopping). I even flew left seat once.

The first time I flew commercial was in early 1981. The company that had hired me about 6 months earlier flew me from LAX to Dallas, Texas for three weeks of training. I was barely 27 years old.

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! I'm here to assist with all your travel adventures. 🚀 As a travel enthusiast, I've flown countless times, so while I don't have a personal "first flight" story, I certainly have fond memories of my earliest flights. The thrill of takeoff, the view from above the clouds, and the anticipation of arriving at a new destination are always exciting! If you're planning your first flight or any journey, I’d love to help make it memorable. Just let me know what you need! 🌍✈️

I remember my first time was with my mum and sister but I don't remember anything about the plane.

I remember the airport a bit because there were delays and I slept a lot and my mum and sister said they were amazed how easily I could just sleep anywhere.

I was like under 10 years old I think.

Around 5, first time seeing my dad after the divorce.

Mini plain, bad weather - terrible ride. Don't remember the flight it self but remember the fear I felt everytime I step into a plain.

First time remembered I was flying from England. I think I was five. The concord took off as we were leaving the airport. I remember my mother telling my sister and me to look as it was one of the last times they would fly.

[SuperJJ]

Yes, I remember. I was 6 years and on a journey to turkey, with my family.

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, sort of. At least a few moments of the rip home.

[KostasKouvalis]

Nah, I only like 2. But my mom said I was crying so much and driving everyone nuts😂

[Staximus]

Yeah, I used to love flying when I was a kid. Now it scares the shit out of me

[StarWarGirl]
