It has been six months in the waiting, this is what I have been waiting for, flying the plane, the thing that has been the light on the horizon throughout the months and months of arduous groundschool.
The day was finally approaching, quickly. Being sent out the PHX a week ahead of schedule, being rushed through the basic groundschool preparation for flying, the numerous hours of reading through the checklists and lessons plans. The day arrived..
A very early start to get in the air before thermal activity, meant waking up just after sunrise. Some final checks of my flight bag and its contents saw the trip to the airport. A feeling of nervousness mixed with a true feeling of excitement. Many thoughts ran through my head as we drove towards the airport; I couldn't wait.
It wasn't long before we were finished on the ground and ready to go up; my flying partner was first to go up, then I to follow.
It was absolutely amazing, the views, breathtaking, the feeling, euphoric.
It was so much fun, until I threw up..
Did I mention I get airsick..?
