Flying lessons, Carnmore?

Tiredalways

Has anyone ever had a 'flying experience/lesson'. the kind that a pilot takes you up,after a little fly around you can take the trottle for a bit. Can you do something like that in carnmore?

I remember my Cessna pilot calling them “blenders!” Don’t think he liked them.

Haven’t a clue mate sorry. I think it was ten years ago or more when I done the lesson.
The flight is still fresh enough in my mind though. Absolutely thrilling.

If I remember correctly you used to be able to go to Florida to get your commercial license and get your flying hours up for that kinda money.
Probably not the best industry to be getting into now, plenty of experienced pilots looking for work unfortunately.

Yeah I have from Westin, except they let you take part from the start. First lesson I took off myself and did all the flying with instructions and some help. Only the landing was fully taken over by the instructor.
