I live right under a major flight path going to an international airport so I was always had a mild interest when I was very little. When I was 6 or 7 my dad started taking my brother and I to air shows, so my interest grew from there. Eventually he started taking us to a local air museum called Planes of Fame to listen to lectures on Aviation.
.
Then middle school happened...
.
I was constantly bullied in middle school and was in a lot of pain and I wasn’t happy, but we went to a airshow and my dad paid for a little flight in a Cessna 182.
.
My brother and I went up in it and it, I took the controls for a little bit and I just forgot all of my problems. That experience honestly changed my life.
.
After that point aviation my #1 interest. I volunteer at Planes of Fame as a detailer and a docent. I’ve cleaned some of the world rarest aircraft including the last Mitsubishi J2m Raiden, F-86 Sabre, MiG-15, MiG-17, MiG-21, He-162, Mitsubishi J8m and many others. Aviation is and will always be my greatest passions.
Dude, I get it, I’ve gone through pretty much the same thing. If you need to take a break for a month or two, you should. It’s better to be gone for a month than to never return. You’ll get through this :) @AircraftoftheRedStar
It wasn’t very fast or maneuverable. A big issue it had was engine cooling. Whenever we wanted it to fly we had to get it in the air with in 10 minutes of firing up the engines, otherwise they would burn out due to over heating. It was really the sight though, wether it was on the ground or in the sky. The US military actually wanted it destroyed after the end of the N9m program, but Northrop basically smuggled it to us and we had it in storage for years. I think we finally revealed it to the public sometime around the B-2 program. My dad said he saw it fly over a stadium he was at with a B-2 overhead. I really wish we still at least had David with us today. It’s still hurts to think about the crash, but I’m glad it’s legacy lives in the hearts and minds of aircraft enthusiasts everywhere. @RamboJutter
I volunteer at a museum that owned the Northrop N9mb. It was in flying condition and I was able to see it fly so many times. Unfortunately it crashed last year, on a test flight, killing its pilot in the process. It was such a shame to lose such an amazing aircraft and a exceptional pilot. This flying wing is amazing, but unfortunately when ever I see one I can’t help, but think about the N9mb.
Wow, this is amazing, I work at the museum that owned the N9mb and though I didn’t know David that well, I had seen him fly on multiple occasions and I believe I heard him speak about flying the wing once. @CobraHueyIndustries
So is this what the meme gangs been up to these days lol @belugasub

+1Always great to hear how people got into Aviation! Btw I volunteer at a museum with a Pt-19, I think it’s flight worthy, but I’m not sure
Friend: How would you describe the SP community?

Holy crap are you alright??

Yup
Yeah, I’m more of a 1st - 3rd gen guy myself, but I was more talking on a technical/practical level @DarkMarble1

Then take another month, don’t stress yourself out over SP @AircraftoftheRedStar

I’m just happy to talk about it. I’m only a docent at Planes of Fame, but I still know a lot about the museums collection. @RamboJutter
Epic!
