There is nothing quite like the `smell` of an aeroplane, its an odor which a child will remember for the rest of his/her life and this is the aircraft where the experience will start. A child may not notice it, he or she will revel in being allowed to sit in the pilot or co-pilot seat, feel the controls and `fly as far as their imagination will take them`. But in years to come they will remember the smell they hadn`t noticed and the memories of the day will come flooding back.
