Lisa Ann,

At least your seat cushion can be used as a flotation device!???

Ages ago, a friend took me up in a single engine Beechcraft over Santa
Cruz, CA. He suddenly took his hands and feet off the controls and told
me to fly the plane! I managed some smooth, shallow dip/turns and climbs.
Then he resumed control and went bizzerk and did a zero-gravity stunt.
Almost puked. THE BUM!!!

Loved every minute!

Call me after you get your license! I'll sponsor a flight!!!

All the best,

Andy
Pilot
