Second flights
Jul. 5th, 2010 09:24 pmWe celebrated Canada Day (July 1st) by going flying. Russ and Craig got to do their delayed first flight, and then we all went up and got in second flights. We would have done a third flight, but it started raining.
There was less turbulence this time, I got all the way into the seat, and I could hear my radio better; a pretty cool flight.
My favourite part was when I hit a thermal and rose straight up. One of my instructors, Dion, says that "it's as if the hand of a God was pushing you up into the sky." For me, though, it was more like a sharp inhale; like the wing and I suddenly gasped in together.
I'm sitting here determinedly not thinking about work and waiting for our instructor's call to finalize our wing purchases and arrange for our pilot's license training.
