Sillyer n GeorG: 開開心心遊關島

5月28日

很快已到了最後1日 in Guam, so far 都無 join 任何 local tour, 無玩 snorkelling (despite i bring all the kits there), 無潛水, 又無 join any water sports Club as we are not interested in any of them at all, seems very 普通 :p But we both were attracted on trying this - FLYING....flying the jet, 係呀, 係揸飛機呀! Despite the fee is rather expensive (each one cost USD225), but i think there wont be any country offering this experince in such a price. Well, Guam 無セ雲, 天朗氣清, 確實頗適合這個活動!

This morning, we wake up as usual in the early morning (8:30a.m.) for breakfast, as the Guide would come to pick us up at 10a.m. in the hotel lobby and start our 揸飛機之旅! yeah!!

雖然我哋兩個都無 experience, 好似好"牙煙"咁 (in particular 我連車牌都無....haahaa....) but the Guide told us that this activity is quite safe as the pilot with us is a very experienced one and actually is an examiner for granting flying license! when we arrived the office, we were treated a coffee and complete an application form for the flying club. When we have finished the pilot come out to lead us to the apron at tha back door of the office.

The pilot is a Japanese with age around 45, a very kind and nice man, and he was very patient to teach us both the basic skill and that sounds easy. Basically we mainly need to control two foot padels (to control direction on land), the wheel 軚盤 (to control the direction in air), and pull/push one stick in the control panel for speed.

GeorG start to drive the jet first, we each have 35 minutes on flying the jet by ourselves, with 2 起飛 and 降落 experience, no kidding ga, we really have hand-on real experience with only little help from the pilot. Frankly, when GeorG fly the jet, while i was the passenger sitting at his back, the time is not easy, as 有 d 暈浪 feel. really want to vomit towards the end of his journey :p
不經不覺 GeorG 就揸了35 minutes, without any excuse, i need to be the pilot and exchanged the seat with GeorG. Before i start the journey, i told the "real" pilot that i am a little bit scared as i want everyone is safe and i feel a bit sick after my husband's journey...haaha....the pilot told me it's ok, it is easy. And without any trying on land, i need to go to the runway and start to take-off at once (之前 GeorG 可在 runway 附近試行).

Forget to tell you that we were actually using Guam's International Airport to play this activity. 一路聽住個 pilot 跟控制搭 communicate, 我一路好驚陣間我 control 唔到起不到飛 >.< 又好拍機翼 or 機尾擦地, when i 諗緊有意外時怎辦, 個 pilot 已叫我 get ready......wow.....i flied the aeroplane la.....the feel is so goood....正正正. 成塊 Guam 的土地 is under me, so nice. GeorG, sitting at my back, took a clip for me.....We are lucky to have a very nice weather, bright sky with little clouds so we can see everywhere under our jet! 左飛, 右飛, 打圈, it looks like not very difficult indeed. Perhaps i am a woman, i act more smoothly and slowly than GeorG and the journey seems to be more comfortable and not as 暈 as GeorG did :p :p

See some of the photos and clips we took (in fact we have took 1GB of photos and clips in this piloting trip, but due to size limit of YouTube, we cant post all of them at here)

Here are some of the clips when GeorG is flying the jet:

clip 1: When GeorG is flying high above the land of Guam

clip 2: GeorG's first attempt to land

clip 3: GeorG has landed safely

Clip 4: GeorG second try to take off

Here is my turn (sorry the clips are all too large, so only pictures):

After the journey, we were awarded the cerificate proving that we have finished a flight!

The pilot say i m good in riding the jet ^o^ Well, time "flies", we were sent back to Sheraton after this joyful activity, as we are the only couple staying in Sheraton. The local Guide suggests to pick us up earlier after we check out and leave us somewhere to shop and then he would come back to drive us to the airport.

So we asked him to drive us to Microeasia Shopping Mall, the biggest one in Guam. GeorG and I shop till the last minute and forget about the lunch! We only bought a sandwich from Subway and took it on the ride to the airport around 4p.m. :p And that's finish our days in Guam.
