Tango Alpha Juliet

i've known marc for four years and he has always been wanting to bring me flying! finally, right at the very end of my melbourne journey, we managed to find a suitable date where both of us were free. :)
look at the amount of buttons marc has to deal with! it was really cool listening to marc asking for permissions from the control towers regarding taking off and landing.
i was afraid that i would vomit during the flight since the plane was really small. all thanks to my sickly experience in grand canyon, las vegas, where i vomited throughout the short flight. thankfully, weather was perfect - sunny with little winds, and marc was such a good pilot.
we flew back to the city, and everything from above looks cute! i could spot things like the eureka tower, albert park, melbourne univeristy and even college square! cheap thrills i would say, but i had plenty of fun. the feeling is totally different from sitting on a commercial plane.
melbourne's coastline, can't recall if that is brighton or st kilda beach.

victoria is already so huge, yet with the plane, everything seems to be reachable in minutes. marc was telling me that his instructor would usually fly to ballarat especially for lunch, how interesting. i wonder how singapore will look like from above?
i was fortunate to be able to see melbourne this way. that short ride was really meaningful especially knowing that i'm leaving melbourne for good. it was a good conclusion of melbourne - from above.
