ahh the first flight lesson . . . i remember mine 3 years ago and I will never forget. Itsa great feeling. Im a freshman in high school and soloing for the first time next year. Im so excited. Good luck with it! Nice flight!
I fly a SLA-80 in Britain and its a fixed winged microlight and the age restriction is 16 or when ever the instructor thinks you are confident enough to fly solo.
I don't think there's an age restriction for an introductory flight. Some flight schools require you to be 16 in order to fly certain planes or enroll in certain lessons, so just call around. An introductory flight costs between $60 and $80; Matthew got to actually take the controls during his 30-minute introductory flight.
I don't know about Sky Walk. We chose Executive Fliers because the Air Force ROTC Detachment (AF) at CSUS recommended them; The AF used to send their students to Executive Fliers for their flight screening program before it was discontinued
N5101E, she is my favorite aircraft.
Treat her nice.

I have flown that plane. Executive flyers is a great school. Who is the instructor that you were flying with, do you remember?
