Seriously though, one of the great things about being involved in leisure aviation is the way that (mostly) folk who wouldn't otherwise come in contact with each other can have a great time together.
Absolutely. I've flown with knights of the realm and window cleaners, landed in a Lord's back garden and a golf course. Being a pilot is a great leveller; it doesn't matter really what your social standing or wealth is, as soon as those magic words 'You're a pilot too?' come out then you can almost feel the shared experience that let's face it, are pretty unique to us. I'm not implying that we are unique in that we are supermen/women is some way, but what we do is different and only those who share that can really understand what we talk about in terms of experiences; even down to the guy who has just done his first solo.
