Mmmmmm first flight hands on! Congratulations - if you have got the Right Stuff you'll never be cured - thank heavens.

I can remember my first AEF flight - Manston, mid 60s, Chipmunk -[Hell's Bells, that's 40 years ago - must have only been 4 or 5 ]

Given control and pilot says: "Hold it gently, like a virgin holding her first pr!ck" .. a line I subsequently used many times on my own students - flying students you dirty b*ggers.

And that was it - hooked for life - still don't know what I want to be when I grow up!
