Marc- Thank you very much that really helps me with my narrowing down. I think that you're right, I can't let something like 9/11 ruin my dream of flying. I love to travel especially by plane. Anyway, there is one more thing that I would like to ask. How long did you want to be a pilot? Like if someone told you when you were my age that when you were older you would probably become a Pilot, what would you have said? I ask this because my dad was a pilot for a while(but not long) and when I told him about me considering Piloting he was really excited. He said that I could finish what he started and I think I want to but I have a Long time to think About it.Thanks a bunch.

Answer
I've wanted to be a pilot as long as I can remember.  All throughout my childhood, almost all of my toys were planes and helicopters.  Even now, at 20 years old, I still collect die-cast planes and have them all on a shelf in my room at home.

If someone told me when I was 13 that I was going to be a pilot, I would have responded, "DUH!"  From the time I first flew in a small, 2-seat Grumman Trainer, I have felt 100% at ease in the sky.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at Cadet985@yahoo.com.
