flying!~
So today, for the first time, I flew a plane!! Well, not IN a plane, (ok, yes, IN a plane, but not just flying IN the plane but flying THE plane) but I actually took the controls in the air! About like 5000ft above Munich. Tee hee. :) SOooooo exciting!!! I like had to wake up at 6.30 on a SUNDAY!! And then WALK for 15 mins to the train station coz the buses only start at 9am on sundays. :S But then I went to the airfield at Dachau and everything was gorgeous! The grass was green, the weather was gorgeous, and I got the planes out of the hangar. Even got a lil baggie just in case, coz it was my first ever flight!! Tee hee. So went up in the plane, and it was coolness!! I could see everything! (With two cushions under me and behind my back) So I tilted the plane so it pointed downwards so I could get an even better view. Hur hur hur. Halfway up already he said. "Ok, you control now." So funn!! So I slowly moved the sticks and made 360 turns, and went up and down. Haha. Nothing like the Sim la!! He was laughing at me. Again. He said, in the sim you made such daring movements! WHy not now?? You can do this! --> Then he spun around so hard it was like 2G force! My hand's so heavy!! Now I knew what it was like to be heavier man. Haha. Or this --> Climp up and then suddenly dive down so it was ZERO G! Or even climb up so high, and wait until u have zero speed, then stall, and fall!! And then recover. :) Like sitting in a roller coaster like that!! And one that *i* controlled!! And I was meant to be a pilot not a passegner. I only started feeling woozy after half an hour the moment he took over the controls to land. =) Coolness. TIll next week. Wheee!!
