35+ years. I don't ever remember not flying. I was fortunate (unfortunate?) enough to be born into a flying family.

My father's a pilot, and so was my uncle, my grandfather, and my great-uncle, whom in a rather spectacular but short-lived display of incredibly excessive balls-to-brains ratio, unsuccessfully tangled in an underpowered two-seater with Richtofen in 1917. He actually survived the encounter, but died afterwards - medical care was pretty negligible back then, I am given to understand.

WWI is actually fairly recent aviation history for my family. You probably wouldn't believe who my great-great-great-grandfather was.

How many years have you been in Aviation?
