I took my dad on his first microlight flip yesterday! At the age of 74, he was a bit nervous at first but I think the smile at the end says it all!!!!!!

Awesome! My dad is 70, seen the aerie but prefers terra firma!

My old man also seems a bit reluctant.

Always great to see the smiles and excited faces afterwards....took up a friend of mine's mother two weeks ago @ Microland, she is 74 and had never flown in any type of aerie before....now that was something special too (^^)

Well done Gerhard!

My Mother is 86 and flies with me at every opportunity.

That is fantastic. Give her a big hug from a stranger. (-) (-) And wish her a lovely New Year from me.
