We are learning to-
Recount an exciting event so that our reader knows what happened and how we felt.
We hopped into a small claustrophobic place with plastic glass surrounding us.
I got my parachute on for a weird reason and I did not know why we were getting them on. It felt like there was a big back pack on me but no. It was a safety restriction also it was for me to get comfortable. We got on to a long grass strip and I heard this loud engine coming for me. It was a yellow and blue thing so I started to get really nervous. The thing I was in was really hot and I was scared. The person I was with said, “don't worry and be happy because nothing will happen.”
We were off! The Glider slowly flew off the ground and it was amazing. All you could hear was a quiet whistle and we finally let go of the tow plane. I got to fly the glider and it was so sensitive.
Next we got ready to land and it was so cool because you could see the bright sunlight shining and the mist from the sea. There was cloud and trees surrounding us from underneath. But the shining cloud was above us about 300ft high so we were not in it. Once we landed the instructor said to me.’’Would you like to join’’?
Since then I have been going out to the Hastings Aerodrome every Sunday learning how to be a pilot. The experience from the glider flight made me wonder what it would be like to be a pilot so I had taken it on. It had made me want to fly for a career and also I have wanted to know what it would be like to fly a whistling plane.
