Flying!

I got to fly a plane! For realz, yo. That's Aiste in the picture, she flew first. The the camera ran out of power. :( But yeah, it was amazing.

The pilot that was with us, before letting us fly, would play around too, by like putting the plane in a free fall kind of, not for long, but enough to feel waitless. Or would aim one wing at the ground and keeping it almost steady, just rotating the plane around the wing.

There are so many instruments, I was trying to fly by instruments and it's so hard to keep them in all the tolerable threasholds. Other than that though, flying a plane is jsut like a boat, everything you do is delayed.

The problem now is, if I'm taking her flying after we've only been together two weeks, where does this lead? After raising the bar this high I'm going to have to become like The Date Master or something to keep this wild girl. At this rate, our 6th month will be a shuttle trip to the moon.

Anyways, more about the flight. The plane was from the 70s, you can tell by the cagerette trays by every seet. For more info about flying, aparently a plane costs between 40gs (old plane) to 200 grand (new), these are one-engine sesnas of course. They use high octain gasolean, cost about 50$ of maintenance per hour of flying. To get a license it costs around 10gs. Thats 64 hours of flying with an instructor.

In terms of ranges, the plane we were in could easily fly to Toronto in 2 hours. It couldn't get to Florida without re-fueling, but if you were to goto Florida, it would take about 11 hours. It travels about 200 km/h. In the air, we were flying between 60-100 nots.

If you look at Gatineau you'll notice that everyone has pools in the subborbs, it's crazy.
