Mum doesn’t know I’m a private pilot, so we went flying!
I take my mum on a flight without her knowing that I am a qualified private pilot. She thought we'd hired another pilot for the trip. We take off and land at Leeds Bradford airport, and during the flight, we fly around Elvington and York, taking in the stunning views from above.
Her reaction as she realises what's happening is a moment we will both never forget!
