THE FIRST FLIGHT

What a day it was. After a wait of 1 and half year after my selection to Naval aviation , the day finally came , 23rd Jan 2015 it was. So , I got my helmet , gloves , thighpad and some more stuff that we have to carry before any flight. Me and my instructor moved towards Aircraft . He was briefing me about the stuff we were going to perform during flight like Take off , aerobatics , sector establishment etc. I could barely listen to what he was saying , I was more excited about the first flight. I opened the canopy , did some external checks and We entered the aircraft. After full system check of half an hour , I finally released the brakes and we started moving towards the Runway. At runway , I took permission to take-off and here I was airborne in next 10 seconds. We entered the alloted sector and were flying at 14000 feet. Sir was showing me the area around Hydrabad city , Narsapur , Jogipet , Nizam Sagar  , Octopus lake and many more ground feature that we use for checking our orientation during any manouvre .

 There was a time when Instructor inverted the plane and I was looking over head to see the Outer Ring Road Hydrabad and Trucks , buses , cars were passing from there. In last 10-15 min. , sir showed me some aerobatics like Roll , Loop , Spin , Stall , Barrel roll , Roll over the top . I could see on the front screen , we acheived +4g in manouvres. After 1 hour of flight we landed and taxied out in Dispersal. We came out of the Aircraft like the way I have seen in photographs and movies "IN FLYING CLOTHES ,HELMET ON LEFT SIDE , MOVING WITH FULL CONFIDENCE WITH AVITORS ON "  What a memorable day it was. Whatever time u spent in air during your whole career but the first time is always special.

My training is going on these days and I already completed First phase of flying. Everyday we fly for 1 hour but a lot of preparation is needed before each flight because our own life is on stake. But seriously best Profession in world.
