I've been doing it my whole life! For a lot longer than I've been driving a car, anyway.
My grandfather was in the Air Force his entire life and my father was the highest ranking officer in the Air Cadets in all of Canada when he left it at 18. He's had his pilot's liscence since he was sixteen and has owned at least one plane since before I was born.
The plane we currently have is a Piper Archer -- it's a little four seater thing with low wings. I can do everything except for take off and land in it -- that's my father's job and my father's job only.
I do hope to get my pilot's liscence some day. I love flying.
