如果你也有个飞行梦

一直做着各种各样的飞行梦,会轻功的,长翅膀的,架势滑翔伞的。昨天终于找了现实的途径实现了,早上开飞机,下午跳伞,真是疯狂。Nelson pilot training 这家在所有价格中是最低的,如果你想要学习,3个月旅游签证30000NZD,还有个是短期课程我也没仔细看。开的机型是sportstar ,漂亮,轻盈。在mapua和rabbit island上空翱翔的时候真是我最美的梦。感谢David,感谢让我坐了主驾驶位。

Best time of my life!

I was looking for an interesting activity and I had trouble believing what I was reading: Piloting a plane by myself while I've never done that? After explaining the basic concepts, the instructor will do the take off and that's it! It was a mind blowing experience, and the best time of my life!

Amazing experience!

It was an amazing experience! David is wonderful and makes everything seem so easy and smooth. I got to steer the plane right from the beginning while David talked about the plane, the sight and flying in general. He showed the effect of the g-force how intuitive it is to fly. He planned for me to land the plane too, but we got abnormal wind so he ended up doing it. Great experience!
