Wings

are My second life

Everything it has been begun in year 2008.

 

Was there so, but if really ? Everything it has been begun yet a lot earlier. In the childhood. Passions and dreams grew along with me. At first photos, movies, admiration for pilots and his machines, visits on airports, airshows, hours of conversations and watching civil and military aircraft, first passenger flights on vacation, first commercial small plane view flight, joy from roaring of plane engine and smell of fuel. But in my times real of flying practically was only in the army possible. I didn't choose such a way. Therefore I had to live only with dreams still for many years. Up to times when the light civil aviation developed. Also in Poland . Today I know that it was worthwhile waiting.

 

Thanks to that in spring 2008 for the first time I just seated in the plane on the left armchair. Behind rudders of the plane. Ready to commence training to the UAP licence. Beginnings were difficult. Tiring and monotonous. Hours of take-off’s and landings and flights all over the aerodrome range. But this way it is necessary to exercise in order to reach the excellence. To overcome fear. To fly finally independently. To pass an examination. To pin the wings badge to the jacket and to be proud of it.

 

Later the time for the next licence came. Acquiring entitlements for new types of planes: lowwingmonoplane, biplane, rear wheel.

 

At the same time a lot of time had to pass before I learnt to exercise a privilege of ”having wings” and to look down on world. Independently to discover it, to admire and to survive in the concentration. Seen world from air is astonishing and is enslaving. He is never the same. It isn't possible to compare these unusual impressions with nothing else in the world. Believe me.

 

Today I spent many hours in air, I landed and take-off practically in all places in Poland and still for me too little. This way every pilot will tell you. It is never quite.

 

Pin wings for yourselves !
