Pre-takeoff checklist
Let me start with a story....
On my very first flight -dual- starting training there was so much joy and wonder. Going through training more and more there is less of that until I finally passed my check-ride. After that, I completely zoned away. Every flight after my check-ride ended up being serious and always stressing myself to fly professionally and constantly triple-check everything.
It wasn't until the first time a friend wanted to just go up simply for the fun of it that I got that feeling back of pure fun, we went up to 8000ft and started making figure 8's in the air high above a blanket of clouds and just simply relax and have fun with steep turns and slow flight etc.
I want to know, what do you do when you go out on a flight simply to have fun? (I've seen people dropping toilet paper and tracking it down online for instance)
Edit: Wrong location for thread... Just realized this can someone move it?
