Seniors first flip

Postby Bulletjie » Mon Dec 26, 2011 7:09 pm

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!!!!!!

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!

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