youngster Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 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! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngster Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Pfffffft to the weather! I am not flying this morning, due to Coffs Harbour's all-too-frequent rain. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit12 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 It's a rare day flying that I don't have at least one "wow" moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rare day flying that I don't have at least one "wow" moment. Sometimes it's the scenery. On others its the patch of turbulence you have just flown into! Merry Christmas to all.
