Tyre Blew Up

Today I was woken at 7:00am  by mum with a phone call from dad! After I recieve that phone call, I had to rush to the freeway to switch cars so my brother could get to school on time! (crazy congestion)

Apparently my Tarago's left back tyre blew up really bad! Thus I had to get it towed away to Cartech to get it fixed since there was no spare tyre!

Skirmish~

Last night I was dressed in an amoured vest and helmet, holding an air gun with 200 paint ball bullets! It was exciting at the same time scary and painful, especially getting double tapped by the refs! 

But a new experience! 
P.S. Happy Birthday Dad!

C152 IVZ

I miss flying, my last flight was on the 13th Dec 2007, it been over a year! I do miss the spectacular views from the sky, hustle and bustle of radio communications, planing my routes and the adrenline of coming in to land! 
Every time I take off and view the skys, it is always breathless. The skys never ceases to amaze me!
