    My OH has had a few flying lessons with the Atlantic flight centre in Cork which he found were excellent and well worth the money.
    I was looking at their aerobatic flying. There is a voucher available on their site for a 40 min session. Has anyone done this? I'm just looking to know was it worth the money and how much time in the air you got?
    Thanks

    I imagine about half an hour which is pretty standard for intros. Believe me if you do any aeros that will quite enough. I flew with Eddie Goggins once in a Pitts Special. My head spun for hours afterward and I hurt my shoulder somehow and was sore for weeks. I doubt your flight will be quite as 'interesting'. I very much doubt the Instructor will inflict any negative g on you or pull the 5g Eddie did!

    I note the aircraft used is EI-BIV. I flew it a couple of times and was about to checked out in it to do some aerobatics when the weather interrupted and in the end in it never happened. Note sure about the new colour scheme though.

    It'll be fun.
