Inflight Entertainment > There I was...
Rainbows from the air!
leiafee:
Oooh oh aahh wowee! ;D
Flew my longest solo trip away last Saturday and got escroted into my desitnation airfield by a rather lovely rainbow. Overexcited as a little kid I was!
Does this feeling wear off once you're an 'old hand'! I wanted to jump up and down and point it out to someone but I didn't really think Gloucester Tower and the res tof the frequency at large would have appreciate me pointing it out. ;)
I need to get on and get that PPL so I can take some mates along to blather at :D
Gulfstream Driver:
Cool stuff in the air always excites me. When I was doing my commercial training, I was going home one night and saw some awesome Northern Lights. Don't think I'll ever forget that.
The other pilots on your freq may have thought that rainbow was neat. If it's not busy, people usually don't mind extra comments on the air. At least not in the area I fly in...

My thoughts exactly. I've got to get it too.
You do see very beautiful things in the air no matter where you fly.
makes me think about "air dates" a lot. it must make a nice one if you get lucky enough to catch a rainbow or a sunset or something like that... must try some of that in the (near, I hope) future.
Gulfstream Driver:
Flying dates are impressive. ;) ;D

Don't worry Leia! You'll never lose "that loving feeling!"
It will always "take your breath away!""
I still get all excited and that's with 6,500 flight hours and counting!!
(and yes, I am still a Top Gun nerd.... sue me!)
I still remember seeing a completely round rainbow over the ocean back when I used to fly off-shore. When I got to the end (or where I thought the end was) I saw about 2,000 dolphins feeding and playing!!
The list goes on...
Of course nothing beats watching a raging wildfire! What an impressive beast!!!
I should post some pictures....
GO GET YOUR PPL !!!
