Many, many years ago, I was going up for a spinning lesson [we did that on a PPL course in those days!!] I admitted to my superb instructor that I felt a little nervous of flying at times. His reply? 'Good. Then you will treat it with the respect it deserves' I went on to do only 250 hours,young family intervening' but what wonderful hours they were. I never forgot what Kevin said, and I always tried to be as meticulous as possible, not overstretching myself until I felt ready to do so. Enjoy!. Now aged 83, I still look up at the sky every time I hear an engine, large or small.
