I was determined that before i turned 40 I would go flying by some means or another (not commercial flying, done that). So saturday afternoon saw me up in the skies in a little 2 man mecchano thing (that's what it looked like!) called a Thruster. Cool I took the controls for over 20 mins. Woo-hoo, what a buzz!! Now I wanna be a pilot, pity it'll cost money Crying or Very sad Still, I don't have to do it right now Very Happy There's always next year, or the year after

Flying is a great way to get away from it all. I was terrified Sad up until 4 years ago. Could never get me on a plane till my best mate took me up one day. Now I'm hooked!!! Have my P.P.L now and I'm working on getting my helicopter licence!!! Yea it does cost alot but the trill does out-weigh the expence!!!!! Very Happy
