Default How did you get into Rc flying?

I had taken my kids out into the country to pick their own pumpkins. I heard a buzzing noise and looked around, I spotted a small airplane, doing loops and rolls. A few minutes later it disappeared behind the tree line. I just had to find out what it was, we hopped into the car and drove down the road. I spotted the plane and it's owner, and pulled into the field where they were. I talked at length to the owner, and watched him fly again. He told me where the local hobby shop was, and I stopped by later that week. The hobby shop owner pointed me to a couple local flying clubs, oh yes, and drained several hundred dollars from my wallet. I look back 15 years later and realize, those were the most expensive pumpkins I ever got. I have to say I have met some of the best people I know in this hobby, and I have a lot of fun in the process.
