The Captain.

There is a story behind this heading "The captain". It was back when I was practicing flying training and a friend of mine referenced me as a Captain which my mom thought was very funny. I eventually got my Private Pilot License and Flight Dispatcher License, but never pursued a career in aviation. However, at times I reminiscent over my good old captaincy days because solo flying to me represent the feeling of ultimate freedom.

The planes I flew were Pushpak and Cessna’s. Pushpak, a tail wheel aircraft is still dear to me as I flew my first Solo in it. The time was around 6 pm, wind was calm and I was a bit nervous when I started rolling for my first solo takeoff. During the initial climb I regained confidence; then on the downwind leg I looked out of the window to see the setting sun right above the horizon blazing its kaleidoscopic reflections on the sea. My first solo landing was the smoothest ever and it makes me proud every time when I think about it.

Thank to my friend who told me to look around and feel the command of the flying machine during my first solo, as I would have never otherwise felt how liberating that sensation would have been. Solo flying is a very unique experience that few might even consider it to be the pinnacle of their personal achievements.
