Hello Evilzone,
Some of you know that I soon will be starting on taking a flight certificate for gliders. This is a personal dream that comes true and I can't believe that this is happening! In about a year from know on I will hopefully get my certificate and what they do in this video will hopefully be done by me :D
For those of you thinkng that gliders is boring and useless, watch this video:

Looks like great fun! I've always wanted to pass a pilot certificate sometime in the future, its a feeling somewhat of being free;
I wish you good luck, accomplishing dreams is a great feeling and priceless memory for the rest of the life. ;D
Although not many people understand what it means to chase a dream.

Weren't you joining the RDAF? Or have plans changed?
Anyway, good on you mate. It must be fun soaring in the skies like like a bird and looking down at the things below :P
-
Thank you! Things has changed a bit, I'm now planning on a career as a front-end developer. I will have to take a Bachelor at univerity first and in the mean time I can relax and stress out in the skies. If everything goes as planned I will have my first flight at saturday.
-
a bachelor at university to be a front-end web developer? or did I misread that?
-
Well it's not a specific education aimed at that, it will be something like "communication and web design" or such..

Seems a bit OTT for that to be honest, but good luck with it. I never dismiss education, just the system that trys to get people as qualified as possible but not practically good at working in that role in a real working environment, meeting targets and deadlines etc. I hope for your sake you're one of the exceptions that can go through the system and work well coming out of it
-
The thing is that the company I hope to end up working requires you to have some some sort of education as well as working experience.

I would say that any company that's worth anything will take quality experience over quality education. A proven track record is more valuable compared to looking good on paper.

This looks so damn interesting, what are the qualifications required to apply for a gilder flying licence? How much does it cost?
-
In my country the requirements is:
- At the age of 14 or above (15 if you want to fly solo)
- Time
I pay 2000$ for my certificate and if you are fast you can do it in one year :)
-
lucky for you man, i personally have a dream of my own but alot of forcws are pulling me back from persuing it.but am being patient till i can make life changing decisions without scrutiny. Anyway, good luck up there.

That does look fun, but I like the idea of skydiving and wing suits better.
If you haven't seen this video or even know what a wing suit is heres a video. [also one of my fav songs]

To be honest I don't have the balls to do that! Though parachute is not a problem. The song, yes, I listened a lot to that song for some time ago. It amazes me how well the song fits to such videos.
