My first real world piloting of a real aircraft - Cessna 172P during 30mins sightseeing flight over Medulin/Pula, Croatia. Take off and landing (Medulin airport - LDPM) was performed by a local pilot - a very nice guy. I was sitting at a co-pilot seat and after having little chat about my few years experience flying in computer simulators as well as mentioning my plans to become private pilot myself (planning to get my PPL/A license soon), I was given the opportunity to actually fly the sightseeing route on my own. This was one of the best experiences in my life ever! Man, that feeling when you control the aircraft cannot be described. It’s awesome...
