What would you have done?
A few days ago I dropped in at an airstrip and got chatting to a nice chap. He was learning to fly and had brought his 15 year old son (plus son's pal) to the strip to have an evening wander.
I offered the lads a quick fly each and they both jumped at the chance. The father was happy for me to take his son, but I insisted that his son's friend called home and got permission from his parents.
They weren't available, so, to avoid being unfair, I arranged an evening next week to do it once his pal had got parents' permission.
Was I too cautious ?
