Did flying whilst in the Air Cadets, chipmunks and ASK21 gliders.
Brilliant.
Looks like an excellent experience. Were you 'merely' a passenger, or did
you get to have a go as well?
I remember somewhere you can get dogfighting experiences as well, where 2 people
fly different aircraft and instead of guns, there are cameras.
May have to add this to my bucket list... B)
A bit of fun off the bike.

"The trails of the world be countless, and most of the trails be tried.
You tread on the heels of many, till you come where the ways divide.
And one lies safe in the sunlight, and the other is dreary and wan, Yet you look aslant at the Lone Trail, and the Lone Trail lures you on....
....Bid good-bye to sweetheart, bid goodbye to friend, The Lone Trail, the Lone Trail, follow to the end.
Tarry not, and fear not, chosen of the true;
Lover of the Lone Trail, The Lone Trail waits for you"

He did say if I did my PPL then I would only need 10hrs familiarisation in the Delfin then would be signed off to fly.
