I'm back from training

I've been gone for about 20 days for a training. I was in Chitose Air Base the first 10 days (which is in Hokkaido, northern Japan) and after that went to Hofu Air Base on the last part of my training. So I came from a very cold place (average temp 14 degrees) to a very hot place (the humidity killed me!). It's like riding a taxi with a strong aircon and then going down at noon in the center of the dessert (exag)...

It was not actually a flight or pilot training. We were just given the chance to ride as a backseat driver of a training plane (T-7) used by soon to be pilots in the Japan Self Defense Force. It was like riding a roller coaster..that is, you have the controls..eheheh. It was a hell of a ride... we did loops, intentional stalls, acrobatics and other stuff. Normally, the maximum G would be just about 4G but at that time, I had a maximum of 5.2Gs! Cool!

I will go home this August and will be riding a commercial plane. I wish they would do some acrobats at that time... ehehhe ;)
