A little nice surprise before returning back...

"Hey Daniel, it's a beautiful day today. Want to go out and fly before you go back to Penang?" Scott was asking me about that and without thinking long, I answered with a strong and excited "YES!"

It's a beautiful surprise for me as I thought this time I am going to miss the chance to fly with Scott. We went to Santa Rosa airport and rented a plane. Before we start our flight, Scott did a thorough check by following the procedure for safety purposes. I am amazed by the number of steps he has to go through it. Wihtout delay, he communicated with the control tower and asked for permission to take-off.

We did a couple of stunts in the mid air, such as spinning 360 degree and a free fall drop. WOW! I can't express the feeling here, but it's great. I tried to take some photos of it, but it's just so difficult to take during that moment. After that we headed south to see San Francisco city, flew over the Golden Gate Brigde and along the costal line to see the light house. I took a lot of photos and shared some in this blog.

The landing part was not a nice experience for me. The hot air bubbles caused the landing process very bumpy. I nearly throw out in the plane, but I just hang on and phycho-ing myself that this will be over very soon. I was sweating all the way during the landing time. Just immediately the plane stop, I jump out from it and try to walk around to gain my "stability". Haha...

Overall, this is an Awesome experience. Thanks Scott.
