Being airborne in a two-seater microlight is probably the nearest thing to what the essence of flying might be. Typically a microlight cruises at about 110 km/h, at relatively low altitudes and in an open cockpit you're almost completely exposed to the elements where the view from the cockpit is unbelievable.
In contrast, conventional light aircraft or helicopters are fast and exciting, but you're enclosed in a capsule. Balloon flights are fantastic and tranquil, but more often than not you're jammed in a basket full of other people.
It's not about white-knuckle rides or adrenaline rushes or things like that. It's about a profound sense of being in another world. The sense of freedom, of being afloat in three dimensions, is, quite simply, life-changing.
