My First Ultralight Experience

Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price. -Amelia Earhart

I have mentioned in my other posts how I loved my previous work so much. It gave me the opportunity to grow myself in so many unimaginable ways. I have met a lot of people and got to try activities from a grueling one-day on-the-spot contest, to a trip to Japan with some press people and even flying! Yes, you heard that right! FLYING!
I still could feel the exhilaration when I had my first ultralight experience during one of the PWD (Photography with a Difference) projects we had with the Philippine Air Force and the Angeles City Flying Club (ACFC). It was sooo fun!
Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1 or 2 seat fixed-wing aircraft. Some countries differentiate between weight shift and 3-axis aircraft, calling the former “microlight” and the latter “ultralight”.

Was wishing I could still take photos while on air. Haha. Remained a wish!
Buhay pa!
Holding on to dear life!
Take me away!
Gone too soon!
But fun, nevertheless!
