So you pay $99 and they would entrust an eleven-year-old with a $250,000 airplane?

Most countries allow students to begin at around that age... and on an "intro" or "discovery" flight they do indeed let you "take it", within perceived limits. I was a lot older when I took my intro ride, but I knew about as much about flying as any 12-yr-old, and the instructor barely touched the controls. Prior to that I once had the stick of a J3 handed to me in flight when I didn't have a clue what I was doing... it's child's play, really... the basic handling of a light single, that is.

Congrats, Gamer... and when did 12-yr-olds start saying "wicked" again? Grin

My little friends and I were calling everything "wicked" almost- cough- 40 years ago...didn't know it was back "in".

You can have that, but stay away from "tuff" and "outrageous"... those belong in the dustbin of history... Cheesy

I don't understand the scepticism. I often see people of all ages having their first trial lesson at my local airport. It's a popular birthday present. Check this out. http://www.southernflyingcentre.co.uk/flying-vouchers.htm

(Q) Are there any age restrictions? (A) No, however the student must be of sufficient stature to safely reach the aircraft controls (e.g. approx 13 years old).

PS. That photo is a tad on the small side.
