I fly aeroplanes for a living but getting airbourne without being enclosed by a coca cola can and the aid of a noisy engine is way more fun!

Landing

My first solo in a paraglider was awesome. After 3 days training it was such a buzz to make the first launch out into space with the ground far below.

Yogi and Sanjay reassuringly directed me by radio... "A little left, OK, turn right now, good...".

My most memorable flight was the first time I got enough lift to climb high above the take off area. It is an amazing feeling to soar with the eagles and see the world from such a different angle while dangling like a puppet on strings!

My first visit to India was made complete by the stunning scenery, the new friends I made, the music, the parties. The tandoori barbeque at Native Place was my favourite. Thanks guys...I am looking forward to coming back.
