I was flying a hired 152 very soon after qualifying, about 70 hours logged. I’d persuaded my wife to come up with me (she is a reluctant SLF in , to quote, a ‘proper plane with a proper pilot’)

not that far off the end of the runway is a high voltage pylon. It was as we were over that at the typical 152 ‘just about flying speed’ that the passenger door opened

I didn’t realise that in managing to deal with that whilst neither crashing nor hitting the pylons qualified me as a sky god ….
