I'm embarrassed to say, but this is a dream I've had for many years, and now I can finally see it through.

OK $1495.00 But I get a cool video and a dream-come-true...  :cheers:

Sounds great, don't be embarrassed, a lot of people have paid more for something that won't leave them smiling for years like this will you!  Enjoy, and know that there will be a lot of jealous people.   :aok

Don't be embarrassed.  I only asked because it is something I would really like to do myself.

Nice, have to admit I'm jealous - closest I've come so far is a Tiger Moth (got to take the controls tho, which was interesting  :D)

Enjoy the experience (and had I the money, I'd do it as well, sod the embarrasment factor)
I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Don't feel bad. As has noted people have paid a lot more for a lot less, plus you won't catch the clap.

When you get the video post it if you can. I would love to watch it.
