Oh I actively dislike fairground rides.

But I love being able to make aircraft do things! And the view of the ground as it drifts by - er - overhead…

Fairground rides are G without views or contol so they’re dull and uncomfortable.

Aeros though it’s to a delightful purpose…

I used to think that about myself. Then I persevered and got hooked. Once the unexpected becomes expected things change!

Thought I hated them but it seems I hated “having them done to me”.
A trip in an Extra 300 with somebody who really knows what they are doing changed my mind. That aircraft is so flattering!
