At our fly in recently I flew a fireman who was terrified of the prospect of flying on holiday, never flown before. A bit white knuckled at takeoff but otherwise he held it together & enjoyed it.
Whether that was a clever thing for me to do is another thing.
He was 35yr old 200lbs, I'm 72yr old & 150lbs. If he had panicked we may have been in deep ****.
