The early 70's is about the time that I learned as well! I was maybe 12-13 years old, and my dad would hang over my shoulders with his thumbs on top of mine. I always remember those flights as very stressful! But thats how ya learned back in those days!! I had 2 planes that I can remember ...... one was a HUGE high wing trainer-type. Wish I could remember the names of them, but what I do remember .... I crashed them both. One way up high into a big pine tree that I never got back, and the other smashed itself right into the runway. Thats an image I'll never forget! Pieces were everywhere! LOL!

I try to be a bit more careful this time around ....
