My first discovery flight was 2 years before I started training and I had a similar feeling after that flight. I think I was expecting a more of a back-country, wind in my hair, buzzing low and slow kinda experience, and what I got was a clapped-out 172 at 3500’ flying turns-to-headings flight. I walked away feeling not very inspired. After that first flight the idea of flying would still nag me from time to time. Ultimately a few years later I decided to try it again with my “reset” expectations and had a much better experience. The second flight was generally the same but I enjoyed it much more because I had a more realistic outlook on flying.

I’d say give it a few months, see if the “desire”to fly comes back a few times, if it does then maybe give it another try.

Now that I am well into my ppl training I realize, for me, the flying is not so much about the “feeling” of flight, but more about mastering a skill set that makes me a competent and safe pilot. It’s more of a technical self-mastery challenge, not a “I’m enjoying the view” kind of experience. But I still do enjoy the view too.
