One of the best experiences of my life was in about 1989 when in the middle of a flight from London to Florida in the middle of the night my Dad asked a stewardess whether me and my brother could have a look in the cockpit. They said yes, and we spent about 15 minutes standing in the cockpit watching them flying the plane. Amazing. I never expected the captain to say yes, because there were about 300 people on the plane and I thought that if he said to some people everyone else would want to visit the flight deck as well. But in fact most of them were asleep.
