Today we talk about the very special experience of first flight as Luke returns from his very first instructional flight and the first step of fulfilling his dream of being a professional pilot. Sam, Luke and I compare first flight experiences from three different generations: from Lukes first flight just recently in 2016, to my own first flight in 1994, to Sams in 197 — 22 years apart. And, via our cancel sarwatch retro salute, we look at the very first manned flight from the backyard of a chateau in Paris in 1783.

All this today on the Cancel Sarwatch podcast.

Today, on the first ever episode of the ‘Cancel Sarwatch’ podcast, we talk about the very special experience of that first aviation ‘spark': the first time the we experienced the desire to fly. It might have been a low flying F111, or a DC3, or classic Biggles books or just tales from a pilot we knew. Whatever it was it inspired a spark of interest that would one day take flight into a full-blown aviation career. From Sam’s first spark in the 60’s to Parky’s in the 80’s to Luke in the 21st Century, hear about the first spark of flying interest from three different generations of pilots. And as well, via our Retro-Salute segment to aviatiors of the past hear our top ten aviation ‘A for effort, F for achievement' try hard historical flights attempts.
