Took the wife and child(4) flying yesterday for the first time. We were scheduled to go next Saturday, but she said, "why don't you ring up and see if they have a plane available".
So I did, and I got one.
I sat them down the club house while I went and checked the aircraft out and blagged a couple of of headsets etc.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I flew then down the River Ouse and Humber Estuary to the bridge and back to Sherburn.
It got a bit bumpy to the south side of Drax P.S and she was glad when we all landed safely back at base.

She doesn't see why I enjoy flying and found the whole thing quite boring. James (child) didn't say much at all, which was strange. Although he did ask who the man was talking in the headphones once or twice.
He was well behaved and sat good as gold. I tried to involve him by asking him to tell me if he saw any other aeroplanes (which he did), but I'm not sure if he'll ask to come again either.
I'm glad I've taken them, because they were my first passengers after getting my licence a few weeks back. I was probably more nervous than they were
Is this kind of response normal ?
At least he had a smile on his face
