Dear Visitors,
my name is Fabian and I live in southern Germany. I´m currently 16 years old so I still go to school. As you can see I´m very passionate about aviation and I´m putting a lot of effort into my great goal of becoming a pilot. It all started in 2005 when I was 2 years old. I was on vacation with my parents and they bought me a book so I can leaf through it during the two-hour flight from Stuttgart to Palma de Mallorca. Of course, it was about aviation. In the following years, I had a lot of crazy plans, for example, building my own airport so I could fly my planes wherever I want to. When I found out planes aren’t even owned by the airport I quickly changed my business plans and from there on I wanted to become a pilot. Since then a lot of things happened. Yet, still, I desire to become a pilot. A couple of years ago I started flightsimming. Flight Simulator X was the perfect program for a newbie like I was. I started to experiment with different types and sizes of aircraft and when I got more confident with the larger jets like the Boeing 737s and the Airbus A320 family I switched to X-Plane 11. X-Plane 11 is a more complex flight simulation that allowed me to take a deeper look into the systems of aircraft. Last year I visited the flight crew of my Blue Air flight to Sibiu/Romania. I told the first officer about my dream and when he told me he believed in me, my motivation rose even more. This picture was taken afterward:
As you can see I really enjoyed that flight.
A couple of weeks later I experienced the principals of flight onboard a little Piper Archer II. It was a hot summer weekend so we got to see many other planes like small sport planes or glider rising in thermals. This plane took me up to where I belong.
I currently spend my time learning new things like playing guitar or learning a new language and enjoying meeting up with friends. Whenever I can I take pictures of planes but sadly I don’t live in the proximity of an airport. Some of the people I am looking up to are Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and of cause social media pilots like Captain Joe or Mentor Pilot. If everything works according to plan I'm in control of a plane in 4 years and in 5 years I will be a first officer.
