Dunkield Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 It was a fixed wing type, that looked as if the wings were attached to a bicycle frame, with a big fan on the back. Sounds like the last Ryanair plane I went on Steve. As for the OP, grow a pair and get on with it I went to school with someone who was at one time the world champion hang glider, not only is she older than you she is also a woman.

Chris Bb Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 No, but I really want to. Fixed wing prefered. Any microlighters in the south want an enthusiastic passenger for a trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Certain aircraft tradesman on a certain RAF station was always spouting off how useless the aircrew were. Took some leave to go on a hang gliding course. Come the first day he was due back he didn't show for work. Then the phone rang. 'Twas the flying school explaining that said tradesman had forgotten to lower his landing gear on the final approach and was in the local hospital with both the port and starboard gear broken.

Imperfection Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I don't want to hurt my brothers feelings but I'm not sure it was such a wise choice for someone with a fear of heights!! This made me laugh out aloud with the present you were given. Im not frightened of heights,but theres no way i'd go up in a moped crossed with a kite.
