Got taken up in a little plane today by Bob one of the venue managers.
We had perfect weather for the flight - clear blue skies with just a touch of cloud.
The plan was to fly around a bit, do a couple of acrobatic tricks and then do some low flying over the hills, unfortunately the wind was bit puffy low down and the plane was a only little so the low flying had to be left off but the rest went according to plan.
Bob took me upside in roll over and then over to one side on a tight turn - it was amazing - to look down and see the ground at the end of the wing.
the view was amazing and as there was a big airshow coming up there was also a lot of other planes around as well - the chatter on the radio was amazing - between the accents, plane code and speed with which it was all said - it was like listening to another language - actually I'm quite sure it is another language
we had a little bit of trouble just after take off - had made a plane switch at the last minute and gave the wrong plane identity - shortly after take up a rather grump airtraffic conroller was asking Bob to "please explain"
