A great time for sure. We are still buzzing about it. Anyone with a licence and gets to fly for real are lucky, lucky buggers.
I mentioned my enthusiasm for flight sims during the briefing and have to say the instructor seemed less then impressed although during the flight he did say I was doing exceptionally well which was quite gratifying.
I do think playing IL2 gave me more confidence taking the controls but pootling about on a jolly is without doubt completely different to getting a PPL. I would absolutly recommend any one to have a quick flight like I did whether or not they intend to take it further as it is such an amazing experience and does count towards your flying time if going for a licence. It also helps if you have a daughter who will treat you.
Just to bore you all further here are a few snaps taken on the wifes mobile phone.
