Default I remember

I remember loving flying in my early 20's. I couldn't wait to get back to work after some time off and would eagerly take on additional work whenever I could just so I could be in the sky.

By 30 it was all gone. By then my focus changed to building a life and family. Airplanes had became torture tubes that tore me away from home.

I think it is easy to retain that joy of aviation if you have little else in your life to take your attention. Aviation demands a lot of your time and chooses where, how and how well you live.

Perhaps if I was able to secure a better flying job by my 30's I would have had a better time with my chosen profession, but poor and away from home stinks.
