Today was fun – and a little frightening. I would have been all set to start my level 2 skill set after testing out of level 1 last time I was at iFly, however I had booked today’s session in advance, the flying rules state that voucher time can be used for belly flying only.
I had a great time working more on all the level 1 skills with my trainer. He even flew with me a few times to practice docking and show me knee flying. That was all fine and dandy. At one moment though, one of my descents caused part of my body to fly directly over his, interrupting the air flow and bringing me semi-crashing down to the ground. Neither of us was hurt, luckily, though I was a bit shaken.
On my very last 2-minute flight I got to just free style it and do whatever I wanted. That was a blast, although I wish I had more tricks up my sleeve to show off :-). Hopefully that will change in the near future, as my next scheduled visit to iFly is dedicated to level 2 skills development! In the meantime, here are a few moments from today’s visit:
Total time iFlying as of today: 2 hours, 25 minutes. And my new adjusted wind speed is 70.
