Usually, Year 7s don’t get picked to do Aviation, so I didn’t get my hopes up. But finally, in the middle of Term 2, I got picked! I was so excited, I would get to do three flights in total, and I would be the co-pilot!

On the first flight, I remember feeling the jolt as we left the ground, the thrill of pulling on the yoke and the plane tilting to it. It was so much better than any flight simulator said it would be. I am so glad Woodleigh has given me this opportunity, and I hope I can continue to fly well into the future.
