Well, it was my 40th this year...........

and I got yet again another wonderful hour of flying, this time in a Cessna......

To be honest, the excitement turned to a stomach churning fear for the first 15 minutes as I experienced flight without the false sense of security of underbelly wings.......lol..........I am not afraid of heights.......I just have an insane fear of falling, so looking straight down from 2000 feet kind of put me off a little !!!

For the 2nd time of Flying, the pilot stated I was exceptionally good for someone with no experience, dunno if that was just "Nicetalk" or not lol.

Here is a couple of pic's. Couldnt take a camera on flight so no inflight shots sadly......(Pics in following posts)
