Pilot:
I'm with you Enmanuel. Clear skies can get boring, but so can overcast days (which I don't like at all). I personally can't stand this June gloom weather and in my opinion it is even worse than cold weather. Do you miss the weather in DR?
Cool video Joost, it reminds me of the underside of big crashing waves. How are things with you? Are you planning to start flying again?
Thanks GG! Things are going pretty well tbh; a number of big decisions in my life atm which I had been procrastinating about and which were holding me back. Taking them down one by one and feeling more and more empowered by that.
Regarding flying... nope. I had my crash in May 2012 and it took me 18 months to fully recover. I did some tandem flights with a buddy of mine last year just to say farewell to the feeling of flying, and I noticed the fun was gone. The awe is still there, but it is overshadowed by the negative emotions. I have been involved a bit lately with providing instructions, and I still love doing that, so I will continue with that. On another front, I took some kite surfing lessons last year, and here as well, I found that there is some semi-rational fear when being physically attached to the kite. I'll see if I continue with that hobby or invest more in windsurfing, where I feel that I don't have that fear at all.
How about yourself? Obviously you are spending more than enough time in the air, but that is mostly professional I presume. What are your flying dreams? Any specific aircraft you would love to fly? What would you do (flying) if not professionally?
