My mom was terrified of flying, so we drove everywhere. Once I was on my own, I started flying. Was so afraid at first, but I grew to love it. LO was 5 months old the first time he was on a plane. He was also on a plane when I was 20 weeks pregnant, and then again at 30 weeks. Not sure if that counts, though! matador84 on "How old were you when you flew for the first time?

My dad has his pilot's license and has always had a small plane. I'm not sure when I first went in his plane- I'm sure I was young though. I remember going on vacations in his plane at 5 or 6.

LO's haven't yet at 2 and 5!! That sounds crazy but I'm seriously terrified of taking DD on a flight (she has never been one to sit still) and before she was born, we took road trips with DS for vacations. We're planning on going on a family vacation this fall. DS will be 5.5, DD 2.5 and DD2 will be 5 months. We'll just have to suck it up and get over it. sslm on "How old were you when you flew for the first time?

My dad was military and we lived away so I assume there was a flight to my mom's hometown maybe? Otherwise I remember flying when I was 6. M has flown a lot since I lived away from my family until recently. She flew at 2, 5, 8, and 11 months! We will fly again when she's 18 months to visit my in laws.
