Sorry, I can’t help but break into Seal’s Fly Like an Eagle. Dooo dooo dooo dooo…fly like an eagle let my spirits carry me, I wanna fly… slippin’ slippin’ slippin’…
Sorry, just let me be.
# – This is a Cessna 172 aka very small plane.
# – This is Reuben. He is a pilot. He will be flying the very small plane.
# – These are Kim, Huai Bin and Suan, commonly known as the passengers.
# – These are propellers on the very small plane. It must be turning at all times during a flight, otherwise one would considered to be in deeeeep trouble.
# – This is Kim illustrating the danger of standing close to propellers. Your tongue may stick out and you may DIE. This is not recommended to be reenacted, especially by children.
# – This is a lift-off, which means very small plane has managed to soar and not hit the ground into smithereens of metal, shrapnel and body parts.
# – And small plane is flying because propeller is turning. Phew.
# – This is a cockpit. Cockpit is still one of the dirtiest non-dirty words in the world.
# – This is Kim, before Reuben the pilot made multiple 90 degree turns.
# – Oh look, a dam!
# – This is Kim, after Reuben the pilot made multiple 90 degree turns AND TURNING ENGINE OFF MID-AIR. For posterity’s sake, she held her breakfast in and did not use the bag.
# – This is a video with some of the crazy mad turns Reuben did.
# – This is pilot and passengers, proving that flying in a very small plane is a safe & MOST AWESOMESAUCE experience ever.
This KL by Air experience goes for only RM 600 per hour with up to 3 passengers. Reuben is a certified pilot, a soon-to-be flight instructor and passionate about plane acrobatics ;)
was an awesome experience when we went up too, wonder if I’ll ever able to hold a pilot’s license this life time :S
Nice. I bought a beginner flying lesson for my hubby for Christmas a couple of years ago. It was also on a Cessna. He was thankful, happy… but would be happier to fly a fighter jet. Ala Top Gun.
coooool! as in coooool!
ky: why not?
winnie: i got a similar lesson for my dad’s birthday last year also. His only complaint was he was not allowed to land the plane. hahaha
yuli: thanks ;)
a very cool posting….
