Today at Malmi airport (Helsinki) was some sort of Christian fellowship open day, they were offering quick 10-15 minute flights over Helsinki. The aircraft was a C172 Skyhawk and lucky me got the Co Pilots seat My first time in a Cessna and I loved it, and plan to return soon.Cheers!

It is fantastic, isn't it? I remember my first flight in a small plane (a 172) almost 7 months ago. It was my Discovery Flight. I spent almost an hour in the left seat and enjoyed it more than any other ride up to that point in my life. Nothing's as much fun as climbing into those little bug smashers and chasing after the clouds.My suggestion (money providing) is to try to get into the left seat. Handling that plane yourself will give you a feeling you won't soon forget. Holding a Temporary Airman's Certificate with your name on it is also something no one experiences without a lot of pride.
