I personally paid for his first "discovery flight" and brought along four/five other co-workers along to the airport to watch him fly.
From beginning to end, you could tell who had the airplane and who didn't. After they landed, he lost his arrogance quickly and apologized vehemently to all. He's a private pilot. . . took him 75 hours, but he's flying . . .and not so cocky. |
Speaking of flight simulators at home... I had an eleven-year-old come in one time who had been using Microsoft Flight Simulator pretty heavily (don't know for how many hours) and we were scheduled for a discovery flight. Long story short, he was able to do the radios/taxi/takeoff/climb/level off/turn/maintain a heading/descend and almost land, pretty impressive.
