One thing I know about myself, is I love to explore things I don't know.
This year, I have an amazing birthday gift from Mom.
A flight simulation, as PILOT. Talking about PILOT, I remember DIEGO, the man in my novel. He is a pilot. (I love everything about planes since forever), and now I could experience how it's like to be a PILOT.
At first, they told me that I have only 45 minutes to enjoy this Flight Sim. But instead, they gave me 2 hours of fun!
I came around 12, my flight is at 1 PM. Came to the receptionist and I took my Boarding Pass.
And then the instructure came and introduce himself, as Kemal (With his Pilot Suit and all) Ah uniforms! How a uniform could attract me...ahahah
After that, they put my name on the schedule board. I got Paris as destination. Cool huh?
I walk upstairs and get inside the plane. Sitting there with my Mom and cousin.
First step, is to have a briefing with "MY" Co-Pilot, Kemal. He asked me where I wanna go as destinations. I have 2 airports to choose from thousands of airports (I have no idea we have thousands!)
I chose Schipol Airport (Amsterdam-Night Time) and Charles De Gaulle Airport (Paris-Day Time).
My mom and cousin also ask things about flight and airplanes about working as pilot. And not long after that, he ask me to join him to go to THE COCKPIT. Which is very cool!! Lot's of confusing buttons and 3D Screen.. Like on a real plane (Hmm..I think, I've never seen a real cockpit)
He asked me to put on a pilot jacket (blazer?), and put on my headset. I could hear him and he could hear me.
He asked me and smile, "Are we ready to take off, Capt.?"
I said," YEAH!!"
He showed me so many buttons, breaks, panels, screen, numbers..and I don't know if I could manage to have it all in my head, too excited...but atleast I know a little. I know what I don't know before about flying.
We tried to take off..and we are really moving! So cool!..but afterward, I have to keep it manually balanced... and I can't. Failed all the time. Hahaha. But I have my Co Pilot to help me.
This is by far the coolest gift ever from Mom. From Dad, my Barbie House he gave gazillion years ago still my number 1. Love you Mom and Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK. What's next ? ;p
