Well,
I've just found time to sit down and watch the programme - wow.
It's actually well worth watching! I watched it an hour ago, and I still have that 'lifted' feeling that I get after a really good flight.
It's well shot, well researched, and manages to put across how amazingly fun flying can be. All of the instructors come across very well, appearing very calm and understanding. (I also have to wonder how much they all spent on new sunglasses before filming started...).
The students that the show followed were a good selection, from all different backgrounds, and again, they all looked like they were having a great time.
The show managed to concentrate on all the good things about flying. After it finished I felt disappointed that it was all over -maybe we can persuade five to make some more? Anyway, I won't ramble on because you'll all get to see it tomorrow - I'll just say watch it, it really is worth it.
