Agree that you can never tell who will love the experience and who will be unmoved.........
My Mother-in-law (overweight, disabled pensioner, walks with crutches) absolutely LOVES it and will cancel anything at the last moment if there is a chance of flying anywhere. She contorted herself into a C150 for the pleasure of ferrying to Blackpool and driving 4 hours to get home! My own mother can take it or leave it......
Took a female neighbour up (in the same C150) on a sunny summer's evening. She is an ex-showjumper, so hardly risk-averse. She enjoyed the experience and the views and was surprised (when I gave her the controls) at how a small aircraft felt to fly - when you see them on the movies there is always a big, butch pilot wrenching at the yoke with both hands! I'd never thought of it in those terms - no wonder the non-flying public are a little apprehensive.
