The Reason I'm Doing This Whole Flying Thing

[youngster]

Now that work has slowed down a little, I've finally managed to get a few training flights in. I've got just over 3 hours in my log book now!

 

This morning, we practised some climbing and descending over the Bellinger Valley, which was a lot of fun.

 

We cruised out to the training area at about 2500' with the air perfectly smooth and bump-free. As I was looking around at the mountains, ocean, a distant waterfall, and beautiful forest and farmland, I could not help but think: "This is why I am doing this!" It was one of those moments of clarity where every problem and stress waiting back on the ground was gone, and for just a few moments, it was absolute bliss.

 

Hence, I shall be back in the air tomorrow morning!

 

Safe flying everyone and a Merry Christmas!

On moments such as you describe I have been known to say " Julius Ceasar never had a chariot like this".. Nev

True but if he could've he would've.

Pfffffft to the weather! I am not flying this morning, due to Coffs Harbour's all-too-frequent rain. Oh well.

It's a rare day flying that I don't have at least one "wow" moment.

Absolutely.

Sometimes it's the scenery. On others its the patch of turbulence you have just flown into!

Merry Christmas to all.
