My First Flight

MFFDo you remember the magic of your first flight as a child? The wonder you felt as you took to the air? What about your first flying lesson? Or the sense of accomplishment as you entered the flight deck as a professional airline pilot?

We asked ALPA members to share their first flights with us to help inspire the next generation of pilots. What follows are their stories: Who inspired them, who engaged them, who reached out and steered them in a new direction.

When you're on the line, remember these stories and always keep in mind that every trip is an opportunity to inspire someone.
