The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no
After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

Re: Your First Hour
I was too young to remember the first time I went flying. I'm 3rd generation pilot. Flying is just something do you in my family, like driving cars or boats or riding motorcycles.
Didn't want to make that mistake with my kids:
Kid #1: DOB 13 Oct 1992, first flight 02 Aug 1993, dual on Maule M4-210C, Instructor me.
Kid #2: DOB 07 Sep 1994, first flight 07 July 1996, dual on Maule M4-210C, Instructor me
Kid #3: DOB 02 July 1999, first flight 28 April 2001, dual on Maule M4-210C, Instructor me.
Kid #4: DOB 26 June 2000, first flight 21 Dec 2002, dual on Maule M4-210C, Instructor me.

Apparently, it was such an important event, that they enshrined the nose of that aircraft in the Hamilton Warplane Heritage Museum.
But alas, I only started it up and ran it (the first airworthy aircraft I ever did), I didn't get to fly or even taxi that beautiful old bird.
Okay okay...
Feb 2, 2001, C-GHYG, C-172N. Two flights that day. Attitudes and movements, straight and level flight, turns, climbs, and descents.

The average pilot, despite the somewhat swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring.
These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Re: Your First Hour
For me it was on the 20th of August, 1973 at C.F.B. Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Warrant Officer Harv Kayden and myself. Cessna C-172 CF-SXE.
My very first flight in an aircraft was in the ass end of an R.C.A.F. Fairchild C-119G Flying Boxcar. I was an airforce dependant and we went from R.C.A.F. Unit Fort Churchill to Winnipeg on the 7th of February, 1961 at 13,000 feet. Brrrrr!
Cheers...Chris
