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):

I really enjoyed this flight! Comments are appreciated!

Very nice, was it your first flight? 8-)

Yep. And very enjoyable it was too!  :)

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?

Wuh-oh. There's another one hooked.

WaaHoo!!!!

Smashing set of photos. Cornwall is beautiful from the air. Glad you enjoyed your trip.

Looks nice!! ! Someday.... some day...

I'm jealous, it looked like a great flight and good weather to boot!  :)

Great photo's, walked closely to that coast whilst i was on vacation there.

Sweeeet! I remember my first in a 172.

Enjoyed your pictures as much as you enjoyed your flight...wonderful.  

So, you have flown the mighty C172 now...great...tell us what you thought about it.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
