I was 12 years old w/my first flight. A four seat seaplane from a lake in upper MN to http://www.campbellscabins.com/ on Lac La Croix. My grandparents were taking me for a fishing trip. Pilot “let me fly” w/my hands and feet on the controls.
VERY COOL!!

Next trip was not until 8th grade when the annual 8th grader’s Washington DC trip.

Next flight after that was not until my wife and I took an Apple vacation to Puerto Vallaerta (sp).

Then was promoted to a position that required lots of travel, rest is continuing history.
