Mr Life Crisis Fighter vs. Ms. Jetfighter Pilot
Guess now we know why Poncho has been quiet lately, but still kickin'.
Remember the old movie about the android kid, D.A.R.Y.L? That movie had inspired me to fly an airship, specifically, a USSR jetfighter which Daryl flew.
It's just an ultimate adventure most kids would dream to go through especially if its one that made them discover what a genius and a hero they are. Lagi-lagi if its a girl yang fly the plane... fuiiyoooohh!! Tambah macho points.
T'was my sister's idea to register for this 'Be a One day Pilot' thingy at Subang Terminal 3. There was no references provided initially, she only said that it will be a 15 minutes (for RM160) in the air on a two seater light aircraft and we'd get the feel of steering the joystick. No bombs, missiles, oxygen mask, parachute, sky acrobatic maneouvres involved.
I thought of obtaining a pair of black leather bomber suit for the event, bb..bb..but, I bet the weather will be such a scorcher and I don't want to end up losing my consciousness once the plane goes up. Not cool and buang duit! Kalau nak mati jatuh kapalterbang macam the late Aaliyah okla, must finish one half naked video clip in Fiji and a son to mark my existence.
To my surprise, this is what we read on the plane dashboard...
It reads: Experimental Aircraft. Warning to Occupants. This aircraft does not comply with the civl airworthiness code of the state of manufacture and the state of registry.
But it didn't worry me at all. It must've been 40 degrees in temperature that day and as I ascended, it got hotter and hotter as there was no air conditioning in the plane and the glass shell was as clear as an aquarium, untinted. It's like I'm racing to reach the yolk!
15 minutes above the Bukit Jelutong area was enough, it was like riding a roller coaster which you control personally. A minute move of joystick to the left or right rolls the plane like an airwheel, my stomach just dropped off la.
Nevertheless, it was a good experience. Another item in my wishlist striked off.
