How to make an old man very happy.

After a life time of commuting in a helicopter I thought it was time to treat my dad to a proper flight for his 80th birthday.
I managed to keep it a secret until we arrived at the airfield but as soon as he realised what was going on he had a smile like a cheshire cat.
It was a struggle to wrestle my flying jacket back off him after thou.
He said it was the best 40 minutes of his life (after checking over his shoulder to see if his wife was in ear-shot) and is already talking about wing walking for his 90th
