What has been the one, absolute highlight of your flying so far?
....it could be a particular flying experience, your first solo, achieving your PPL or a particular licence/rating, flying a new type or in a particular place, or practically anything else...I guess I'm interested in what turns us all on.
I thought about it for a bit, having done quite a lot...what REALLY stood out as making me feel great, as though flying was the best thing in the world? And it's an absolute tie between my first solo cross country, and flying through a completely circular rainbow a few years ago. Both gave me the same feeling of wonder, of disbelief. That seat next to me just couldn't be empty as I flew all round the country, talked on the radio, made my own decisions, could it? And this natural phenomenon was impossible, rainbows weren't complete circles, and here I was in the middle of it in my own little world that no-one else could experience.
Well, that's me anyway. Now over to the rest of you...
