It's one of those things you just have to try at least once. I had a cool discount for a "discovery" flight...why not? There is that initial fear when you get on the runway (and wonder if this little thing will really get off the ground)....but the flight instructor was pretty much helping me with everything to get the plane off the ground so there was not much to worry about....as soon as we were up he gave me more control of the plane. It felt rather easy maneuvering the plane....until a bit of turbulence kicked in...and I felt fear creeping behind me again. While there's a lot of freedom in roaming the skies, I have to say right now I'm not inclined to pursue flight training. Other than the cost, it really is a lot of work...monitoring instruments, watching out for other planes, navigation, radio traffic-chatter,.....and I think that's it: it sounds more like work than a great time for me. But hell I still got a kick out of the experience and glad I did it.
