I'm 27. One of the few memories from my childhood that I cling most dearly to was when in 1994 I flew to the US from Austraila. The pilots invited my family and I up to the cockpit during the flight so I could see the controls of a 747.

This wasn't some uncommon special event either. It was part and parcel of doing an international flight as a kid.

That happend to a coworker of mine last summer where he got to take his kid into seeing the cockpit of the plane they were flying in.

Granted this plane wasn't bound for the US, but still I was very happy about that; the kid was happy.
