Thanks Cusco.

Well im happy to report that my lesson went ahead and it was an immensely satisfying experience. That’s an understatement, it was INCREDIBLE.

My young instructor Lee handed control to me at about 500 ft and we climbed up to around 4500 ft I think. We flew towards the Severn and the Forest of Dean and I learned how to control the ailerons, rudder, flaps, throttle etc.

I’m astounded by my own feelings about flying this early on.

So help feed feed me here guys, any documentary, podcast, or book recommendations for a budding aviator?

Im 52 this month, but I feel 25 again. What is that mysterious force that kept me up there with the birds?

I don’t want to crawl around on the surface of the earth anymore.....I want to be airborne forever ha ha.

Right, I’ve calmed down now. Time for a cup of tea!

cheers
steve
