Most of the time, people who haven't been up in a small aeroplane before are happy just to be looking at the view, enjoying seeing the land from an unusual and different perspective.

If you liken your flight to the Barnstorming days, or to sight seeing flights, thats basically what you are acheiving. Nothing technical or likely to upset a stomach less accustomed to flying than yours has become.

Glad your Grandfather had a strong stomach, and a calm demeanour!

If you really want to sharpen your skills, and have the finances, how about considering an aerobatic course?
