Having said all of that you sometimes forget as a pilot that others don't fly. I was at my club last year and our cleaner was in, lovely lady who comes in once a week to tidy up the mess left by a load of blokes. I casually mentioned 'When was the last time anybody took you up'? She said no one ever had so I told her to stop right away what she was doing and took her flying for an hour. She was absolutely made up and I was quite made up with how made up she was! It's easy to forget what a unique experience it is to people. I'm sure the other guys at the club hadn't left her out through meaness, they just probably never thought to ask; indeed I wouldn't have asked myself other than we were making idle conversation.
