Up, Up and Away

A few days late with this one but soooooo much fun.

Last weekend I had the opportunity to take to the skies and enjoy my birthday gift from some great friends - an Aerobatic Flight. It was a totally amazing experience and luckily the weather stayed just perfect. As the aerobatics were not allowed to take place over the airfield my small spectator group were left watching me disappear into the distance for 30 minutes.

The major high points were loops, barrel rolls, experiencing 4.5G and also experiencing a feeling of weightlessness as the pen from the dashboard floated about the cockpit as if we were in the space shuttle.

After the flight my cheeks ached so much from smiling and grinning like a cheshire cat for half an hour. To quote Lewis' favourite word of the moment 'Awesome'
