You made me come over all teary with nostalgia.
It is a lifetime and life changing experience.
You will learn piloting and social skills that will underpin you career for your lifetime.
Be warned though, some have gone there and stayed, period.
I still miss the landscape and that awesome weather.
You haven't lived until you've shared a slab on a Saturday arvo with your mates watching those 60,000ft CBs build from nothing to awesome, spend their energy and then just drift away, grumbling quietly to themselves.
