Well I was young and enthusiastic then...
I'd already had a flight in XR810 (VC-10) the day before with the strangely backward facing seats, which was my first experience of anything with engines!
Now, nearly 36 years later I've managed to scrape a living in aviation(albeit the inflatable type
) so it obviously triggered something...3000+ hours in balloons and 200 hours in gliders...and counting
