Nope. I mean the LEFT seat. The one where the PIC usually sits. The first three or four years they would actually let each person sit at the controls and fly the plane (with a rated pilot in the right seat, of course) for about 15-20 minutes. And yes, I was very fortunate. On the flight I was one was a very petit woman in her late 50's. Her father had flown one in the war and she had always wanted to ride on one. When she got her time at the controls she had a heck of a time holding altitude. And the rest of us really felt it as we tried to wander around inside. But I'll tell, I've never seen a broader smile one any face, EVER! This was the most excited person on the entire planet. And after we landed and de-planed, it still took her about 10 days to get her feet back on the ground. That alone made the whole trip worth it. Here, check this web site. http://www.look-up.com/ See the hyper-ling in the first paragraph (Affordable and Simple) where is says: "pilots around the world"? Click on that and then page down to the fifth picture. That's me in the left seat of "Aluminum Overcast". We were over Lake Winnebago, which is about a mile east of Oshkosh's Wittman Field and the EAA Convention Grounds. Definately a high point.

They were just kids, a lot of them - and they were so good!
