I'd have to say the chemtrails over my house when I was a child. Nothing like sitting in a backyard full of grass while staring up at an inbound from the west coast.
Also all the flights I took as a child. Whenever anyone asks me why I chose to become a Pilot, I reply asking if they ever remembered the vacations they took when they were younger. They usually reply yes and ask me how that has anything to do with their question.. Then I tell em that I barely remember any of the trips or vacations, but I remember every single flight I've ever taken, the Airplanes I flew on, the Airlines I flew with, and the Pilots who flew us.

I still remember my first flight in an airliner at about 3.5 years old. Got to visit the cockpit, and got hauled back out by the head steward after pushing some buttons I shouldn't have 
.
After that, I was in a kindergarten situated right under the approach for Norway's primary airport.
I've always loved airplanes and everything about aviation, always will.

Dad was a pilot, his dad was a pilot...
I think it stems more from growing up in Seal Beach. 1/4 mile away from SLI so jets would blast of every morning, international arrivals for LAX flying right over my house, and in my backyard was final for LGB.
Kind of surrounded by it...
