Today was awesome.
I started the day off early with studies in preparation for a looming exam. I even canceled a day class for a subject that I had already done at night so that I could make time for these all essential studies. Nothing was getting in the way. It’s all about the books!
Then my phone rang.
Everything changed. It was the school calling me asking what I was up to and to find out if I wanted to go flying with another fellow student who was doing a cross country. Books closed and my car was in gear before I could say Captain Hoox.
It was an awesome flight. We took off from Grand Central Airport in an almost brand new Cessna 172 Skyhawk. Incredible machine. We flew out past Hartebeespoort Dam and out towards Mafikeng. The whole flight took about 3 hours and it was just so good to be airborne again. We returned coming in past Johannesburg CBD in the distance and flew directly over Sandton City. Everything looks so peaceful and clean from 2000ft.
So much for the studying but I think today was exchanged for an incredible experience and so worth while.
Back to studies tomorrow.
