While in the Air Force in the 1970s and 1980s, I was an aircraft electrician, but was studying to get my privates pilots license. However got to where all I needed was my solo flight to qualify for my full single engine license, but stopped short there when I got married and started having a family. So, yes, I few real airplanes for a short while, but never solo'd. Only with an instructor. And yes, I actually flew with the instructor next to me.
I also flew RC aircraft for years, and had lots of fun with that. Not the real thing, but does teach allot about aircraft control, and aerodynamics as well.
I am retired, and disabled now, so I am having a blast with BOP, since I can not fly for real any longer.
