I remember those early days. Now I have 270 hours in the left seat, instrument, high performance, and retract signoffs.

#

Was working toward my CP and CFI before I stopped.

I actually do get butterflies in the stomach when at altitude, but I think that was from my days of being pushed out the back of a plane with a parachute. 😄

Expected, yes. Agreed upon, not so much. The idea of jumping out of a military aircraft with a military parachute and more weight in pack, weapon and ammunition than my body weight at the time, was definitely not something I would've agreed to.

ahh, a conscripted event.

#

Nah, no conscription in Australia anymore.

#

Just something I "had" to do as part of my training.
