Do a barrel roll!
I FLEW A PLANE ON MY BIRTHDAY!!
I spent the first week of April studying to get my “commercial drone license,” which was a lot more involved than I thought. Nevertheless, after passing the exam I decided to keep the flight theme going for my birthday by flying a stunt plane with Sky Combat Ace.
[this post is unfinished. I hope to write more later and make a video, but we’ll see how that goes…]
What I’ve seen:
a sampling from my camera roll
What I’ve felt…
8 G’s of pressure!!
The sensation of falling backwards in a stalled plane.
Lost in the chatter of air traffic control
Exhilarated, shaken up, weightless, and surprised
On my birthday I was
thankful…
I stayed conscious for the high G turn
The pilot let me do an extra maneuver
I am closer to my goals now than the beginning of the year
My taxes are finished
There’s a star out there with my name on it
