Flying
Experiences
I started learning to fly on my birthday (July 21st) in 2003. I flew my
first solo flight on August 15th of that same year.
Flying is unlike anything I have ever done. I can be having the
absolutely worst day on record, but when I get in a plane and take off,
everything is left behind. Stress disappears and all I think about is
flying.
