An ex-instructor told me once about a trial lesson he did at a previous flying school before he started instructing at the club I fly from:
Lady turned up, introductions were made, and they did the usual ground briefing before the trial lesson. Went out to the aircraft, started up, taxied out to the runway and took off. Shortly after they rotated, new student pressed the push-to-talk button and began reciting the Lord's Prayer over and over again
The lesson was cut short, student's hand was prised away from the controls, and they came straight back again. Once safely on the ground, he asked her why she did that (although the way he related the story to me, he phrased the question slightly less politely than that!) "I just want to fly so that I can be closer to God" she told him.
