Amelia started to have an interest in airplanes in 1920 at the age of 23. She had not even see her first airplane until 1908. Amelia was not very impressed with them at that time (Rich 21). In 1920, she begged her parents to let her have fling lessons. Her parents agreed and she took lessons from Neta Snook. Neta Snook was one of the few women pilots of the time.
