Some moments are worth remembering

Sometimes things happen you didn't expect. What you planned for didn't happen. And in the bad luck of one thing, you got a chance of something else. Preparing for my first multi engine flight, the Seneca V had a snag and was taking longer than planned to get fixed.

Another student and I was to fly our first twin flight on that same day. While waiting and reading through the POH to refresh my mind, a call I never expected suddenly came up. Lars Ness and the owner of a beautiful Jungmann invited me up for a photo flight in a few hours.

There was no time. I was hours away from that first flight.

And a two hour drive away.

And then the Seneca was not ready in time for both of us to complete our flights. Only one could fly that day. Suddenly the bad luck of not flying your future for the first time, changed into redemption of a different kind.

After not being able to produce the film of the Sea Fury Invincible that I really wanted, not able to give back properly for all the trust I had been given. I hadn't filmed any air to air since.

Sometimes what you are offered on the fly and do in the moment, is worth remembering.

Sometimes those fleeting moments come back to you years later, and makes you hope they are remembered by those you shared it with.

Who trusted you and gave you a chance.

Makes you hope what was made back then, for them, is worth remembering.
