How Did You Get Into Aviation?

How did you get into aviation?

I got into aviation in 2017 (or 2018) when I flew from El Salvador to Los Angeles, when we landed, I knew what I want to be!

I became interested during my first flight (0 years old) my parents always said I was the best little traveler. I started learning all the aircraft types and stuff at around 8, and I knew it pretty well at 9.

I started liking aviation when I was in the Hospital in 2017. I was admitted in there for 2 weeks. I was really board, so I did not know what too do. I was browsing the app store when I came across an app called Infinite Flight. The app was expensive, but my parents let me buy because of the situation I was in. I got the app, and liked the app immediately. I got Pro and started flying a lot. I became grade 3 in 2 days. I was addicted. I kept playing and playing and could not stop. Fast forward 3 years. In that time period I have removed and renewed my sub many times. I found about IFC at end of school last year. I joined many VAs. This is the story of my life in Aviation.

I don’t know how, I just started liking the metal tubes when I was young, then I started drawing planes and it kept evolving…

I loved Geography since I was 4. I am able to say every country and their capital. I also wanted to be a pilot. Until I flew to Tokyo from San Diego on JAL’s dreamliner, and they gave me a model plane. Then I wanted to be a pilot even more.
