Never done anything like this before so dunno what to expect? Anyone else tried flying?
and in equal measures.
Good luck Kerry. Hope it's as good as you expected.

Well I survived!
I went into it with an open mind given the fact I love planes but scared of flying
The guy who took me up was really nice which helped
Really cool bits were flying the plane over my house
And just as we arrived at the airport the air ambulance took off and we flew over the accident scene and the guy asked me to fly the plane while he took pics
Also found listening to air traffic control cool too
I was happy flying the plane in a straight line but didnt like the turning part and ended up panicing and getting him to do it 
Definitely hungry for more now
