Having never flown in anything anywhere at the tender age of 78, this into the blue gift was out of the blue as a Christmas gift1 hour at Headcorn with Mid Kent Aviation.The pilot Andrew Hopper run through all the controls and instrumentation with me on the ground while the engine was warming up. I of course was full of trepidation as we bounced along the ground towards the runway take off area, cleared for take off and was away. No sooner had we lifted off when Andrew who is a very chilled guy let me take over the controls, told me what height to get to before levelling off and then what landmarks to head for We flew over the Kent country side, Ashford, Dover with Andrew pointing out landmarks. It was that for the whole hour, totally nothing like I imagined or expected, not only was it my very first flight but I actually flew as well Concentration was intense so fears disappearedHowever I dont think he trusted me to land it as he took control of that part My advice to any one who has never done, go for it
