I love flying! I've always wanted to be a pilot but my parents always talked me out of it (big mistake). When I'm on a flight I love knowing pretty much everything that's going on with the airplane (what the noises are and what all the moveable parts of the wing are called - flaps, ailerons, trim tabs, spoilers) and when I finally get bored of looking out the window I just make my way up to the cockpit and ask if they need a hand.
I'm kidding about that last part!
I did actually get to fly a real plane once but it wasn't an airliner hehe. It doesn't really matter since airliners are always on autopilot anyway except for takeoff and some landings.

I was nervous, but I also had a nice older guy who sat beside me, and we chatted before takeoff and I told him it was my first flight. He explained things that would happen, some sounds I would hear (both in takeoff and landing) which was really helpful because otherwise I probably would have freaked out.
I know that smell is strongly connected with memory, but today I smelled a smell (ha...redundant much?) and it reminded me of something, I had smelled something like that before, but my brain just could NOT figure out what. It was so frustrating and I never did figure it out (once the smell is gone it's hard to think of what it could be).
What's worse is that it was on a check that someone sent in. It must have been her perfume, or shampoo or something, but after she left I kept smelling the check to see if it would trigger something in my brain. It did not, and I also felt weird for smelling a check (though it's not uncommon that they have a scent on them).

Well, technically my first experience on a plane ever was when I was 4 and I remember nothing so I don't count that. But yes, my first real experience was by myself. Not really my choice, that's just how it had to be, but God sort of prepared me for it because I had been doing things by myself and being stretched on my own for months before that.
