All the students find a seat in the large room, Chris was about to give us a fascinating fact when I spot an astonishing sight through the corner of my eye a real plane motor. Chris now exclaimed how a plane flies, the wings on a plane are curved in such a way that air moves faster on the top and moves slower on the bottom which creates lift. He also talked to us about the parts on a plane. Then Miss Woulfe did a draw of two groups the first three names got to go on the first flight and the second three will go on the second flight my name was drawn on the second group.
Now the long and painful wait was over it was time for the flight simulator Kaleb and I were third. We had successfully completed four barrel rolls and so for amusement we deliberately crashed the simulator that was our turn. Several more pairs had a go, Kaleb and I were just about to go when the pilot came into the room and announced he would take another flight out around raglan and the wind turbines. Adrenaline and excitement flowed through my body thinking about a real flight.
Slowly we walk over to the plane area, excitedly I step onto the aircraft. The pilot showed us puke bags and some funky looking headsets. While we were warming up the engine lots of transmits came through the radio and the speakers in our head phones. Then it was time to take off, we rapidly drove in the direction of the fence when we lifted off the ground off we went being in the air was the most pleasant feeling in the world, we saw the waikato river, Hamilton lake, raglan harbor and finally the wind turbines it started to get ruff and the plain bumped and wobbled a bit and back we went. The runway was right ahead and we started to go down, this was not the most pleasant feeling, in fact this was quite the opposite. We landed safely got out and went back to the simulator.
