I used to do disabled ski instructing - One of the parts of the training I had to do was to go skiing for a morning blindfolded to practice blind skiing, you'd be surprised how quickly your other senses become more sensitive to cope with the lack of vision. I'd imagine that flying in an aeroplane would be an exciting experience for a blind child, be it straight and level or aerobatic!
