On a much smaller scale but in the same vein, while I was on my glider scholarship they showed us a video of a glider trying to land and veering into the trees at the side fo the runway and getting DESTROYED.... then they showed closeup of the wreckage and I caught sight of the tailfin and it said C-GTGB and I was like oh that looks familiar OH MY GOD THAT'S MY PLANE.

So basically I got to see a video of the terrible crash of the glider that they'd then rebuilt and put me in to fly by myself for the first time :thumbs:

Oh yeah, and rebuilt=applied duct tape to, apparently, judging by, well, the amount of duct tape holding my freaking airplane together.

Yay I survived the first flight! :D It wasn't bad at all. My plane was a small one since it was a connecting flight. At takeoff, and when we landed, I think my stomach floated up to my throat. Other than that, it was really amazing. Definitely beats driving.

Yay Matt.

I get to fly in a seaplane tomorrow.

I'm finding that a little scary at the moment.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Is it just hitting you now that you're in BC? cause you've been there for nearly a week :P

I have exactly a week and 15 minutes until I leave.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I've seen small mountain-ish places. But no major mountains (ie, huge, snow on top). Nothing impressive, just overblown hills.
