I have taken a few mates flying since I got my PPL a while ago. As long as they understand that you are entirely responsible for them the whole time and if you tell them to wind their necks in at any point its for the good of everyone, then it seems to work out fine. Saying that, all my friends are fairly level headed and understand a little about aviation. But its a very strange and also rewarding experience, especially when they have a massive smile on their face from the barrel rolls and loops you have just flown.. .On the flip side I went back to fly with a mate instructing on tucanos and it was a very fun experience, especially since we were good mates thru valley. Never feels the same with a whirly thing propelling you along though!
