What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  It had been my dream since I was 3 to fly military jets, but a back injury put an end to those dreams. Though I'll naver fly for the military, I can still teach about their aircraft, and maybe encourage somebody else to reach for the sky. Currently, I am a senior at Fairleigh Dickinson University, majoring in communication and criminal justice.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  People as far back as Leonardo da Vinci had designs for aircraft. In fact, in 2003, when some of his designs were tested, they actually flew!
