My first flights were in a crop duster.  My father (ACE WWII pilot) 
was a flight instructor for army aviation but his friends flew crop 
dusters and he arranged for me to go along when I was about 10.  We 
did loops and dives and spirals and I was fine but my mother, down on 
the ground, nearly had a heart attack and wouldn't let me go again. :-(
