Nine Thousand Feet Above Sea Level      9:30 AM A smooth take off from Dubai Airport, A serene fly over the Palm Islands, and a spectacular landing at Al-Bateen Airport in Abu Dhabi 11:00 AM Waiting for the Bateen tower permission to taxi the aircraft 11:42 AM Taxi granted, Permission to maneuver between 4,000 and 6,000 feet within Abu Dhabi skies granted, Steep take off, vertical escalation, & an elevated G-roll ..I gasped my way through them repeatedly screaming "I love it! I love it! I loooove ittt!" 11:51 AM I took the reins, ..or in this case, the steering controls. "Maintain 9,000 feet altitude" the traffic-radar said Three hundred meters.. It was time to descend, as we were approaching Dubai Airport; the runway becoming more and more visible, my task was to balance and land in the center of the runway - I was lucky I had people on the aircraft taking photos (there were 8 of us!) The minute the aircraft touched down, and I heard the tower-man say "Good morning and welcome to Dubai" I felt a rush of adrenaline (an overflow? peut-être?) that came out every cell in my being. My first landing experience felt like Napoleon conquering his biggest and most precious empire just yet; I can't describe it any other way. I was high on that experience for about 5 hours, brilliant! brilliant! brilliantttt -to say the least! When I picked up the phone & told my sister, her reaction was: I want to do it all over again =D Labels: La Dolce Vita, Life Events $25 in my moola box | link | email this post |
