Hi all,
I went on my 1 hour trial flight on sunday (27th) in a Piper PA38 Tomahawk.. it was so bloody fun
.. I remember before we're about to take off we had to wait for an Easyjet 737 to take off and you could hear the pilots talking to the tower which was great
- I took a photo as we lined up for take off and waited 2 mins for the turbulence from it to clear.

Anyway, it was a great experience but I do have quite a few questions:
1. I was extremeley tense and nervous when we were up there, I remember when it was getting quite bumpy and we were being flung around a bit I felt a bit scared - do you get used to it and did you ever have that same feeling?
2. We couldnt go above 2000 ft I think, why was this?
3. The ATC comms. seem very confusing and well, fast paced - do you find it hard to keep track of everything?
Anyway, It was a great experience and I really enjoyed it - loved listening to all the pilots talk to the ATC'ers in the background - really interesting
Thanks
