good to be back in the skies... not good to be coming down from it....

today is the first day that i got back to flying in the new year. and also it is after a period of 3 flying days that i got myself excused because i had the flu. a pretty bad one to boot.

sitting back in my skyhawk was really a nostalgic experience, things slowly came back to me. bit by bit... it was as if something was telling me... this is where you are meant to be. (haha so cheesy) and not having flown for 18 days... suddenly i felt that accelerating from 0-130kts which is like 0-230km/h in 20 seconds was a challenge... lol... the ground rush... the kick back of the aircraft... it was quite an adrenaline rush.

granted i am VERY rusty with my flying. like so many things seemed difficult to handle... then when coming back... a somewhat weird feeling happened. first my face became numb. it was this gradually "huh how come my face feels numb" kinda feeling. then suddenly my left ear couldn't equalise the pressure. i'm like oh shit this is so not happening to me. this is like barotrauma or otherwise known as Aerosinusitis.... but lets keep it at this...

feels kinda lonely tonight...
night...
