Trial lesson at your local airfield?

Possibly CD, but you have to be a bit careful with your terminology so we don’t get crossed and indeed cross wires :p

Nice to see Pax River were accommodating.

I didn’t really enjoy my first ever flight, which was in Air Atlantique’s DC-3 G-AMPY at the age of 10 (painted in Northwest colours).

It was more relief to get down after my first solo in the Robin. I swore a lot and was a bag of nerves.

But I did get a huge amount of contentment at having soled a tailwheel the frst time (the Super Cub) and this came as a surprise to me.

Some time after passing my PPL, I was at the 100th powered flight anniversary at Old Warden (17th Dec ’03). Late in the day, Hairyplane came and grabbed me, stuck me in the Maggie and we flew me off into the blue. This was my first topless flight. Without a cockpit cover, I suddenly realised, despite having got my licence, that I really was sharing the air I was flying in. Nothing but a wing either side of me to keep me in this space and that astounded me. This was probably my most memorable flight.

So is it impossible for the aeroplane to remain stationary relative to a fixed point with full power applied? 😉 The wheels are not direct drive. Once the wheel bearing friction is overcome, it would just roll along “up” the belt and the wheels just spin that bit faster. If liftoff *air*speed is not attained before it reaches the upstream end, there will be a crash.
