the title says it all.
My final for my math class was to give a presentation on a career that involved the math we learned this year. I always wanted to be a General aviation pilot, and I did learn Mileage and stuff this year so if fit right in.
Searching youtube i found a video that was from the film "One Six Right" and it truly made me sniffle at the end.
the trailer can be found Here:

be sure to watch it in high quality too. My Interest in aviation has increased by 100% more by watching this. Now I'm thinking about taking a small bike trip to my local airport 4 miles away for a day. can you still get your Pilots license at 14? :)
The Movie at Amazon.com is i believe $18 not including shipping.

I think my Interest in Piloting runs in my family. Iv'e only been on a plane 6 times, and thats before realizing I wanted to be a pilot. My Family:
Robert Carlson Jr. NAVY Mechanic 1975-2003
(Uncle)
Clay Carlson. ROTC Ground School 1975-1978
(Dad)
Robert Carlson Sr. General Aviation Pilot 1979-1989
(Grandpa) "All your dad's fault I got into flying!"<---Grandpa.
Sue Carlson. Air force Medic 1975-2001
(Aunt)
Most people at my school listen to gangster rap, have their pants to their Knees and hats turned backwards. I walk the grounds at gym and look at the sky, waving at the Cessna's as they pass. they all look at me funny :)
I cant wait for the hard training someday.
:salute to all Pilots Young and old.
Thank You.

Barko,
Looks like an excellent DVD - might have to hint for it for Father's Day. Thanks for the links!

That is a great film. Loved every minute of it.

I've watched One Six Right many times over, great piece of work. I earned my PPL in October and find myself firing it up between flights. It's a great reminder of the reason I went down that road to begin with.
