Though one pilot did not want the wind in his hair!! :lol:

That's using the word "cockpit" rather loosely! :lol:
Cheers, Mike.

I think it's 'Marmite' flying, I'd either hate it or love it! I was lucky enough to get a flight in a flexwing microlight last year from Eshott, not something on my bucket list as I prefer my aircraft to have an 'inside'. But I was very pleasantly surprised by the experience. It's amazing to just look down to either side and for there to be nothing between you and the ground! Not as scary as it sounds and a real sense of flying in the purest form.

You'd never catch me in the air exposed to the elements like that. ;)
