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
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!

Why you can fly to higher altitude one? The video very noisy @.@
we can fly higher because the plane is capable of doing so, commercial plane is not capable of flying so high, even if it can, people don't normally do it due to health hazard. the plane is very noisy :P
