Maybe not at first sight, but have definitely experienced rapid infatuation that led to something profound. Seems also to be correlated with age - the younger you are when it happens, the harder it hits.

Hey, with airplanes, I think that sight AND sound can count.

I remember the first time I saw a Mustang flying. My grandfather, a B-26 Marauder pilot, lived in Ocala FL. There was a fly-in community that had a "airshow" of sorts. Well, we didn't belong there, but he drove me up to the gate when some of the planes were flying. I remember seeing a Seawind for the first time. But I really vividly remember that there were two P-51's flying. I remember the slow rolls they did. I remember the sight, but I truly remember the sound. I remember the sound more than anything.

But, it was a combination of the sight AND the sound of that airplane that will forever be burned into my memory. Plus, my grandfather has been gone for a couple years now, so that memory is that much sweeter. I wish I would have spoken to him more about his experiences when I had the chance.
