Mrjake's Scenic Flight

[mrjake2002]

Took a flight on Saturday. I got lots of pics but none of them were brilliant. Here's the best anyway...
Btw. We flew a Cessna 172.

This is the route we took (The red one):

Very nice set of pictures.  Looks like a very awesome flight and sweet that you got to take the stick and toss it around a little lol  :P.

Sweet flight mrjake! A flight around the coast of cornwall looks just amazing for scenery, the cliff shots with waves crashing about look awsome.

Good to see you got a bit of stick time aswell

Cheers,

TSC.

Excellent; well done. That looks like a nice place to fly: very scenic, but plenty of good emergency-landing sites.
So... what were your impressions of handling a real C172 in real air?
