Re: Snobs with Wings.....
Do you know of a Trial Introductory Flight? I have taken one in a fixed wing and a helicopter - not with my friend - a paid business transaction. The whole point of these is to let you take the controls and have a go (in the hope of gaining your interest in pursuing your licence). This is the exact thing my friend does, with instructor rating. You will find these available with any flight school. If your friends were instructors they would have done them! Approved and openly advertised everywhere. I would suggest not dangerous at all.
Ummmmm.....I got taken a bit too literally here. He does not black out and we do not exceed the ratings of the airframe (I would be passed out before this, and before my friend who handles Gs better than me.) The inverted commas were to suggest not really blacked out...just getting me to fly...like the TIF I mention above.
Sorry for confusion here...I would never allow him to do something that left me in total control without him ready to take over! I know the value of experience in everything I do. Knowledge is never enough!
Travis...not as dangerous as you think I am.
