Awesome- you've got me all lathered up for my ride saturday... ;D

Two questions:

How long was the flight?

Was the right-seater flying the plane at all?

That aeroplane is in beautiful condition. Can't say the same for the passenger. :P

here in the UK the cost of these types of flights tend to be prohibitively high?

The nearest comparison I can make is with the Dragon Rapide. A typical pleasure flight with Air Atlantique costs
