Bridgenorth has a lucky escape

[bob696]

My lad (13) was taken up in one of these (http://www.raf.mod.uk/equipment/tutorgriffin.cfm) on Saturday for a 20 minute flight.

He was allowed to take the controls (or at least he was given the impression he had :D) over Bridgenorth.

His confidence has gone through the roof and he is well happy (as am I)

Cost to me ............. £2 :biggrin:

£2? Any more empty pilot seats going at that price? :biggrin:

Probably, if you are an Air Cadet. :) I take it that's how he did so Bob?

Looks a bit more comfortable than the Chipmunks we used to go up in when I was in the ATC.

At least he won't have been looking at the back of the Pilot's head:)

Great experience for the lad Bob.

I was always lucky, being a sortar+e and always got the front seat!!

Yes Roger ...ATC. Should help him maintain his interest :-)
