flying wise, I’ve not done any powered flight since for a few reasons. The main is that being at university I didn’t have the money to do so and I guess as a dental degree is so academic heavy, I didn’t have time. Secondly I was still a bit bitter that I wasn’t going to fly military which was always what I wanted and it’s taken me quite a long time to get over that.

The closest I got to flying, though I did do an awful lot of it was paragliding spending every summer in the alps. Not the same in any stretch but pushing FL45 hanging under essentially a tent gives quite a view.
