Commercial com-ur-sh-ul She wanted to fly commercial planes that carried passengers. Civilian siv-ill-ee-un There are two types of aircraft-military, and civilian for the public. A young girl had a dream. She wanted to be a professional pilot one day. She had read all about Amelia Earhart-the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean solo, and she was fascinated by her. She built toy aeroplanes, and even though they didn't work, she knew that one day she would understand aeroplanes and be able to pilot them. A young boy was so excited about flying. He had never been in an aeroplane before. He had not experienced the sensations of taking off, cruising and landing. He held his boarding pass and waited as everyone got inside the cabin. The young girl used to dress up as an astronaut, making her own space suit and helmet out of a bicycle helmet, a bin bag, plastic rings and plastic bags. She studied the night skies and she memorised the constellations. She used run around outside with paper aeroplanes. They flew and glided through the air for a while, but they were nothing compared to a real fighter jet or commercial aircraft.
