Well said Bunyan Wingnut; it is often about those special experiences.
I recall late one afternoon after an air show at Caboolture taking one person after another for a slow, extended circuit in the Tiger Moth as the sun got lower in the sky. There wasn't a puff of breeze and the warm air just slipped past the open cockpit. There was no 'hire or reward', just taking some folks for a short hop and sharing what we're so lucky to be able to do.
Cheers,
Owen
