No Thrill-Seeking, But...

Thrill-seeking has never been a great part of my life, but this picture, from the Flight Simulator, reminds me of the 'thrills' I did have. It show the runway at Waiouru NZ which belongs to the army training camp, where I did absailing, diving, white-water rafting, racing in tanks and being out in the open under live fire. The picture also shows Mt Ruapehu where I used to ski.

Here is a better picture of the aircraft itself. It is one of those very nimble, highly powerful competitive aerobatic craft.

It is a thrill to fly.

And after a successful series of loops and turns, it is very satisfying to fly off into the sunset.
