It's crazy when you think about it, but every pilot must have their first ever flight with passengers on. We will never know about it, but up the front that rookie pilot with a handful of flying hours in their pocket will be sweating, nervous and then haul a whopping great aircraft into the air with real live people on it. They suddenly have the lives of lots of people in their hands! Crazy right?!

We got the chance to chat with a brave pilot who was surprisingly happy to share his first experience - which was nearly his last! We're very grateful that the mistake was discovered in time, and we bet the passengers are better off being none the wiser!
