As you say: when someone else is flying.
Leeming mid 60s - JP (again).
QFI asks if I'd like to come along on his CT flight. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity.
He dropped into a steep sided valley and navigated it by going from 6g turn to 6g turn.
Every time we went to 80deg bank (and, of course, lost sight of t'other side) I thought 'Bang seat isn't going to help here! I'll just get splatted on nearside instead of offside!'

Big aeroplanes and coffee for me!

ps: The other 'moments' were over before I realised they'd happened - e.g. close to midair in low vis, almost hitting hill etc etc.
