The Last Time

today i brought the awesome to apft for the last and final juncture. me and joe was the subject for the whole tuesday, and it made us feel very cocky and all we do was just brag to our friends on how good we are on defining and refining the phrase "bringing the awesome" in exquisite detail. at the end of the day, me and joe walked away from apft with a black eye and a painful memory due to the arrogance that we threw in intentionally... in the movies, that's what they call the "introduction twist".

but the real story was, me and joe had a lot of fun taking photos, and it was good to see our friends and instructors who were there supporting the both of us. those guys played an important role in our life here and they really are an amazing group of people. all the things that we've all been through together either good or bad, was just a method of traveling towards realizing our goal in becoming an aviator. i'm going to put in lots of appreciation on that for sure.

here are some pictures from that day:



his name is hasib... or haseeb. i forgot the real spelling of his name. but it could be any of those two... i think. in any case, he's from syria and ever since day one, each time i see him i would yell "chris! what's up?". i mean look at him. judge it by yourself. it's almost impossible not to call him "chris" due to the great resemblance he bears with chris daughtry. sometimes it bugs him out, but yeah... i'm just saying.


this is me and capt. barry. he is from new zealand and he is a great instructor. he knows about flying and the aviation industry like the back of his hands. i've learned a lot from him. all of my night flying and twin-engine sorties were commanded by him. and all i can say is that he is good. really good.


capt. zeenu. on my first day in apft, he declared that he is a very open type of person. he said that you can talk about anything with him. and yes he really meant that. you can really have a good laugh with him. and not to forget, he also follows my blog.

p.s.(only read this if you are capt. zeenu) - sir, if you want to download the photo that me and joe took with you that day, you can click on the following links:

and last but not least, the batch 21 guys. these guys are the type of person that you can instantly adapt as your new best friend. they have great sense of respect, and they're just not boring. all they do is laugh. i dig their healthy lifestyle. they are all jocular people and really know how to keep things fresh just by throwing words at you. you can really go beyond the horizon when you have words with these guys. especially with the dude standing at the most right hand side of the picture. he's very witty and his jokes are clever. he can make the biggest of man feel very small. faez, thanks for bringing me back down to earth.

well, i guess i'll see you when i see you. until next time, bye bye.
