 An Offical First Captain.... |

Yesterday, I flew a four person plane!!!!! okay, I may not have taken off, or landed, but once up in the air, I had put on the headphones, grabbed the controls and headed out to Toledo, aproximately 2 hours in the car from Madrid, but 45 min on plane.
Our capitan, Mr. Alejandro Basilio...aka...mi Pedro..... took us up into the blue on a beautiful Sunday morning... Laini also came as offical cinetographer and she was a bit apprehensive at first...but the Capitan reassured us that we were all very safe.
Once up in the air, we travelled quite slow, about 200 kilometers or so....4,000 meters high! Alejandro did this one trick, where he actually climbs up into the air creating an arch with the plane, then quickly decends! This creates everything else in the cockpit that is not attached, to lift fly around....and there is the sense of weighlessness.....like on the moon!....It was amazing...and this is from a girl who really cant't stand rollercoaster rides.... We did it three times...I loved it, but of course I screamed like a mo-fo!
This is just a quick little blog..... so much is going on..... i just signed a lease for my very first Spainish APT....I have had numerous interviews with various schools, but nothing that is offering good pay.... so i might just end up teaching private clients....hmmmm what else....
oh yeah...Im dating the captian..hehehe
Besos!

Wow, that looks amazing to be up in that tiny plane making it go! Yes, it is ironic that you hate rollercoasters! I'm glad you had a good time up there!

It really looks like you have been having fun over there. I wish that I could be there to. Maybe some time soon. I am suprised that you didn't crash the plan! Just kidding! I hope you keep up the fun in Spain.
