So I was really knocked out by the trip, but I was happy that I was still able to fly despite the delay. I didn't get a great introduction, but I didn't have to do much either. I gave up my backpack and was given a helmet where I could communicate with the pilot. Then I sat down or the pilot sat behind and I sat in front. The vehicle seems shaky and after we were pushed, it started. I was afraid that we wouldn't take off because I was too heavy, but it worked out. Quite a cool feeling. I didn't feel unsafe once during the entire flight. We were already high up and it was windy, but really great. There was a GoPro attached to the front where a video was made, which I would get later. The pilot asked me several times if everything was okay. We walked along the coast and I really enjoyed the air and the view. He then went into town for a bit and then filmed. Then he flew a little left and right (curves) and also took out the air and simulated a small dive. I should then hold out my hands. Truly breathtaking. I noticed that the GoPro said Error and I thought to myself that I wouldn't get a recording, but the pilot noticed it too and then told me that we were about to land and then fly for another 6 minutes with video. Really great. The first flight lasted just under 15 minutes and the second flight took me just under 20 minutes, although there was actually only 10 minutes in the program. And all of this despite my delay. I am completely satisfied and received the video the next morning. A great memory and an experience that I will not forget. By the way, the landing was cool too. All the fun cost $70 and is definitely worth the money! Afterwards I chilled out in the sun for a bit and then headed towards the hotel.
