tim's birthday surprise

ta dah! tim's surprise was a trial flight on a cessna 150 for an hour. he was unfortunately unable to do the flight on his special day as the winds were too high, however 2 days later we were at beccles airfield on a very clear and sunny day :)
tim was involved in all the pre flight tests (as seen below)....




and was all the checks were done and tim in the pilots seat, all geared up tim took off (with an instructor next to him). he says he had a great time in the air and enjoyed the experience thoroughly. he got to do the take off, landing and most of the flying when in the air, not bad for a first flight! well done tim :)

Hello Tim, I hope you had a brilliant birthday! By the looks of it you have! How exciting to have flown a plane. Well done for doing most of it yourself. Always keep aiming that high. xx
