None, of my immediate family flew airplanes but my grandmothers brother was
a crop duster and was paralyzed in an accident while crop dusting in a new
airplane.

Just curious how much "trickle-down" aviation there is among us?

My father flew, that is how I got started. We never owned a plane of our
own, only rented. I got my first plane ride when I was three.
He was my first passenger upon passing my PPC checkride and J3 checkout.
I got to fly him to Oshkosh for his first trip there.
