Trial flying lesson (tourist non pilot alert)

[AT]

In had a trial flying lesson yesterday, really enjoyable. I have no previous experience, but of course thought flying a Cessna would be a bit like driving a car.

Well now I know it isn't: 3 dimensions is tough! I'll be back though, it was fun but I was frustratingly useless. I can't even imagine landing/taking off, though I had 45 minutes at the controls up in the air (I guess it's like being on the world's biggest piece of Tarmac in a car though).

not only are the controls in 3 axis, the air doesn't stay still either
