Totally made my day!

Yes, a very random video which i found in the scrapyard (was shot during good old uni days when we had nothing better to do and decided to pull some pranks on one of our beloved housemate) and is at least 4 years old now. But hey, it totally made my day watching this! Simply priceless!

See ya' later flying, Hello ground duties

Been to and back from Maroochydore (MCY), or more fondly known as the Sunshine Coast, it marked the end of the training in Australia and i am finally back to Singapore again for good. During the 3 months i was in MCY, i have been taught how to fly a jet (specifically a Learjet 45), yes a huge leap from the GA Cessna 172 where the speeds are mostly quadrupled in all areas. Hey, but that's also where the excitement is :) I find the learning curve is pretty steep initially despite having 2 crew members now in the cockpit to help each other out. It did eventually flatten out however and i find it much easier to fly. I even managed to fly to a higher altitude than anyone have ever been (yes, that's including commercial pilots) at a whopping 47,000 ft. Others who could have flown higher than this are probably the military pilots and of course, the astronauts :P



Recorded at 47,000ft!




Can't see what is happening?=================> Here, let me make it easy for you :P

Ye, the Earth does seems rounder at an altitude, especially this high! Also notice how the sky color gradient changes from light blue and becoming darker above, i'm hitting outer space soon! lol!

Okay, back to reality, as of now, i'm doing crappy job in office, miles away from the skies, nuff said :( and it's going to continue for a while.

Also, im cutting my blog short and try to split it into smaller parts instead of a big chunk of updates and changing style into a more casual way, i hope!
