So, I am "The Flying Uruguayan" for a reason... that is, I love airplanes. Here are some of my favorites:

I have flown in a DC-3. Years ago.

I actually flew a Piper Cherokee once. I am also obsessed with aviation, so my parents paid for an intro flight lesson for me one year for my birthday. Will never forget that day - the controls felt so natural to me.

You and one of my friends would get along really well. He's totally obsessed with planes lol

I actually have a private pilot's licence :icon_bigg

Unfortunately it isn't current since it's too expensive to rent a plane :icon_sad:

I loved the Concorde. Sadly I never had the chance to fly with it. But I saw it once. It landed on Zurich Airport a couple of years ago.
