@Tattooed_Mummy when i was a kid, about 5 or 6, my dad and (maternal) grandpa took us to a small air field and payed for us to get a 20 minute round trip flight in a small sports plane.

I dont recall much of it, but it was magical to me back then.

Since then I've been on a few holidays abroad where its been flying, 6 times, maybe?

I think flying is a marvelous and fantastic thing, and not worth destroying the environment to do.
