So, I took my mum flying for the first time. She was apprehensive, having only ever flown in any aeroplane at all just once in her life. But, as soon as we got going, she relaxed. It transpired afterwards that the reason for her worry was that she had told my son (her grandson) that she was thinking it would be difficult to get in and out of a small aeroplane and my son had told her that she simply needed to climb onto the wing. That put the fear into her...she thought she would be a flying a Cessna, not a Piper, and she was convinced that she wouldn't be able to climb that high
