It's Time (2016)
Hello, My name is Jacob. I am currently 12 years old. I am from Houston, Texas. I have some sort of passion for aviation that I just can't stop thinking about. Since my story this year is called "It's Time" I'm going to share my "It's Time" moments with you. My parents always told me I could be whatever I wanted to be. I want to fulfill that dream by becoming a pilot. I can't wait for that moment when someone says," It's time to fly." Last year was such a great year. I really enjoyed it. Every year I make a new account. This year I decided to make a new spotting alliance called "Aviation Union" The guys and girls that helped me put it together are absolutely amazing. The reason I wanted to make it is because I want to help people love the passion they already love even more. I've been on Instagram for about 2 years now. They have been awesome. I always tell people its not about the likes, but wether you enjoy what you post. My friends on Instagram are also really cool. Last year, Our group got kinda split up but we managed to pull it back together. #ItsTime
Thanks for all the support <3

#MyAvGeekStory (2015)
Start: Here I am, just a normal a 11 year old who has a passion for baseball, math, and airplanes. I'm a born and raised Texan, not on the farm or the prairie, but in this huge city named Houston! (Yes I know the best city ever😉) How it began: When I was 5 years of age, I went on my first airplane to Orlando, Florida!
I remember it was on a United 737-700. I was amazed! I literally looked out my window THE ENTIRE TIME! The flight attendants looked at me like I was crazy because my face was against the window. I loved it. I told my mom,"One day I will fly a plane!" She started to laugh and she said,"maybe you will someday." From that day on I began my passion for aviation.
8 Years old: The second time I fly on a plane to, Cabo, Mexico! It was on a United 757-200. By then I had a iPad and took loads of pictures. Then I got in the Captains seat. I took pictures and played with all the "buttons"
10 Years old: This is the age I got Instagram! I loved it but I was only allowed to follow my friends... But I was approved to follow some aviation accounts! The first one I followed-@megaplane then I followed @fraviationand so on. After about 6 months I found this game called Infinite Flight by following @infiniteflight.live! I am now one of his best friends on Instagram. I will get to that part later on. So I got the app! It was loads of fun because I read on the website how to fly. Then my parents said I could make a aviation account! So I made @infiniteflight.654 in February and then I posted pictures of my journeys on IF and met some awesome people that are now my friends. So then I decide to change my account name to @jrraviation which stands for "Jacob R Romero Aviation" and about 1 week later I took my first planespotting trip on March 7th, 2015. It was awesome and I saw my first Dreamliner! I took my dads awesome camera. I got some real good shots!
1K: 3 days before my birthday, May 20th, I hit my first 1,000 followers! I was so happy!
My friends: AKA the squad. Over time I made friends with@boeing.787.lovers, @infiniteflight.live,@above_aviation, @clarencetheavgeek,@aviation_atlanta, and finally the funniest member, the one and only@alaskaair4life! We decided to make a account dedicated to our passion to airplanes called @aviationsquad! So then, it was a coincidence that I got to meet @boeing.787.lovers in Cancun! So now we are the best friends in real life! He also watched my account for me while I was at @pinecovecamps!
End: Thanks so much for reading! I really appreciate it and thanks so much for 2K! I have a lot more to add to this huge celebration! Now to 3K!
