My Experience at First flight

in #aviation7 years ago (edited)

I have always dream of flying , i mean travelling by air. I have done everything possible to achieve it but all to fiasco. This is basically due to my background and environment. I was born and brought up in a village which only means of transportation is by boat, canoe and bicycle. But each time we play outside or during games in my school, I saw aeroplane fly past in the sky. while we waved bye bye to it, over time I started desiring wishing to fly. flight.jpg

This dream started growing and at a time it took over me. I practically could do anything to fly. Fortunately for me I won a scholarship which took me from village to Township . I am now a township boy, I told my uncle then that I wanted to visit the airport just like that and lucky me he obliged. The first day at the airport was awesome. In fact I was so satisfied that I refused going back home. My uncle was practically holding me by hand and dragging me back.

Finally, my dream came through in 2008 when my uncle called me to join a military courier flight to another city. I was so excited and my joy know no bounds. i was great, I can not vividly express the kind of joy in me then.
I couldnt sleep a night before, my mind was there, in fact I dreamt seeing myself in the aircraft. And lo the D day came and we were at the flight line quite on time to avoid cancellation.

D Day

it was not like other airlines I later flew. There was no much ceremony, Just board the airplane following the military personnel before me. It was a C-130 H aircraft. there was no air hostesses, no special announcement inside. All I perceived was the aircraft taxiing and taking off. I could feel every moment in my system. before long my stomach starting reacting vigorously. Then suddenly it was as if the aircraft was tumbling in the air. the weather was boisterous and rambunctious, my eyes suddenly became blurred and I bent down holding my stomach that at that time almost turning inward out.
The excitement suddenly turned sore. The personnel besides me held me and told me to relax and calm down. He gave me tom tom sweets. Not long we landed and when I came out. it was a mixed feelings, That of a dream came through and the stressed of my system upset. I celebrated that flight and savored the memory for quite a long time.
