My first flying lesson
Had my first flight experience today, a Christmas present courtesy of my wife. Amazing, 30 minutes on ground instruction followed by one hour in the air in a Cessna 172 Skyhawk. I thought it would be 'OK we're up to altitude, take the stick for 15 minutes and fly straight and level'. Nothing like. Apart from take off, the first 5 minutes and landing the instructor's hands were never on the stick. I flew it all! Very demanding, but also exciting.

Air Traffic Control Is Getting A Much-Needed Upgrade
It’s a clear sky over San Francisco, with no clouds in sight, and there’s an audible groan as your captain announces that your aircraft’s approach is on hold due to weather conditions.
