I will never forget the time I went for a 'joy' flight in a Pitts Special. I had about 70 hours in Cessnas and Pipers Plus about forty in a Bellanca.
When the pilot found out my flying history he handed control to me at about 200ft after take off.
Once he worked out I was not telling porkies we started on the ride of my life.
He had me do nearly every aerobatic manoeuver known to man.
Fifty minutes later we landed. He was my brothers FI in the Air force in fighters.
The passengers in a bus do not like what we revel in!
As a pilot this makes us far safer!
