Pretty much the coolest thing I ever won was a ride on a Pitts  Biplane when I was 7 years old.   We were at the Marion, Indiana car  show / fly in.  My parents entered me into a raffle to take a ride in  this acrobatic high performance biplane.   It could do all the stunts.    Rolls, loops, stalls....etc.  I can't get the day back but I wish I  had the opportunity when I was older because I was only brave enough to  do barrel rolls at that age.   I was too scared to do loops and to have  him go straight up and do a stall and fall backwards back toward the  ground until it turned and he could recover it.   That maneuver is  called the Hammer Head.   It was extremely cool none the less and I was  very lucky to win the raffle. 

I sort of saw myself having my pilots license at this point and I'm somewhat disappointed I don't have it yet.  In my mind unless I can have a plane to fly then it doesn't make sense to get the license if I always have to rent a plane.   My goal is to have a fighter jet one day.   I'm going to have to get stupid bitty rich to reach all my goals.   There is no other way.
