many thanks to my able instructor and 'co-pilot' Sam - over at iPilot Bluewater - for his kind coaching and steady hand at the yoke, which greatly helped to mediate my control inputs to the Boeing 737.
i've fulfilled a life-long dream, thanks to you, Sam.
together, we took off from London Heathrow, landed successfully at Singapore Changi, then did a take-off-and-go-around aborted approach at St Maarten, and finally did a fantastical take-off from Chep Lap Kok, then made a low pass over Kowloon harbour and finally made _that_ infamous approach into Kai Tak, which i (with a lot of help from Sam) successfully negotiated and brought the plane down safely without having to overrun into the water :-)
