Got Smashed

Can't say i had a great weekend when somebody drives into my car.
But lets wait and see if this baby can be revived.

Flying: You will never look at the ground the same way

Do you remember the first feeling of being able to breath, walk, say you first word?? Well i don't. I remember the first feeling of passing my Matric, Graduating at Tertiary, Driving my first car, but non compares to flying.

Yes, you heard me. I went flying last night, and man.... that was an interesting experience. The feeling is un imaginable. I have always dreamt of flying. I even made "attempts" to join the air force but computers got the best of me.And suddenly i was airborne.

Its amazing what the earth looks like from a bird's view. The adrinaline that builds up when you tilt that plane to one side.....spectacular. That was my flight experience in one night. Just an hour in the air and i was never able to look at the earth the same way.

























Flying in the evening has its own advantages and disadvantages... (Advantages: Very quiet, Disadvantages: You can't take clearer photos) but for a first time fyier it was great in every way. I managed to take a couple of shots......it was an evening to remember.......


I must say that Johannesburg looks pretty funky in the evening......especially when you are up in the sky. The flight route was from Grand central airport (Christo hired a plane from Babcock Flying Academy), to JHB CBD (over hilbrow Ponte tower) to Soweto (my birth place), down to Sandton. We flew around JHB CBD for a while.....man - That was amazing..... flying at 7000ft everybody looks the same (you start wondering why can't we just get along). Anyway, thats a topic for another day...

I owe all this to Christo.... he really made my dream come true... Now all i have to do is aqcuire my PPL and the sky is the limit.
