Something smells decidely fishy !!
I have to agree.
But a check through sinsall's posting history shows that he's made some intelligent posts up to this point, so I've given him the benefit of doubt. I doubt the aircraft was anywhere near 90 degrees of bank (I don't think many basic trainers could maintain that kind of bank angle for very long!) but to someone who's new to flying I can see how 45 or 60 degrees may seem like that. And the 160kts seems unlikely, but I wasn't really very aware of the numbers on my first flight so I suspect that's just a simple error.
Sinsall, glad you enjoyed it for the most part.
