First flight experience

My first flight experience was on Antonov AN-2 sightseeing flight above my town. I was around 5 yo. They stuck 20 kids into the parachute configured plane and flew us for 30 minutes around the city. Since this plane was for parachute training there were benches along the walls. Your back was back to the windows. I was facing other kids vomiting on the floor for 30 minutes I was too small to reach to the window to see anything. And with the seatbelt on I couldn't move anyway
My first commercial flight was year later on LOT Antonov AN-24. Domestic flight in Poland from Baltic Sea to the Tatra mountains in the southern part of the country. Since then I am obsessed with flying.
