- weih! i'm back to flying ! -

what a cloudy day!!

Folks, as i promised to you, I'll share with you what had happened to me yesterday. As you can see, i'm back to flying stage after a pretty long break due to ground school study! Frankly speaking, i barely remember all the techniques and checklists. Phewww, and so i gotta prepare myself by memorizing the checklists, read back the books.
Get back to yesterday, my very first time flying after break. My sortie was at 12o'clock, I suppose. Due to school rules, i've gotta reach at hangar by 7am for morning briefing. So, while was waiting for the sortie, of course better to prepare myself in better way.
The thing wasn't lucky that about 11o'clock, the weather approached in a sudden ! This was freaking me out, weih ! Inevitably, i couldn't continue with my sortie in this kind of weather! Well, gotta delayed, praying hard for it and fortunately, my prayers did work ! Around 1p.m, the weather gone in a sudden, thanks god! But wait, the story never end here! Meteorology report ( METAR ) came with a bad news, low cloud base!!!! Weih, with this kind of weather, hardly to do my sortie. Again, my sortie had been delayed.
I was waiting like a wild boar for a whole day until 5p.m! "fuck weih!" was the thing i repeated nonstop for whole day ! Fuck weih!
Hmm, right at 5p.m, finally I managed to get abroad the plane with my instructor, Captain Rizal! He was from AirForce, old days and so he had a great experience in flying. This was the very first time i flew with him, i suppose. The sortie was so great with him, i learned alot from him, in fact. With him, I managed to do all the things on my own. We shared a lot of stories, chitchat while flying, instead of making the atmosphere under pressure. XD. Somehow, he demonstrated some aerobatic skills such as loop, stall turn and etc! Phewww! I bet the roller coaster was a piece of cake compared to it. I felt the negative G-force right to maximumwhile doing 180degrees dive into the ground!! Couldn't even move my hands, my gut was like jumping out from body! XD Great experience ever ! I want it againnnnnn, please! XD

I took some photos yesterday as promise. Okie, let me show you now.
