[quote] Nothing beats that first flight of the day. It is damp and miserable outside. Low overcast and drizzle. You have completed the paperwork and the check and you are lined up on the runway, the end barely visible through the mist and water droplets on the windscreen. You are cleared for take off, push the thrust levers forward and start your next flight. As soon as you are airborne you are enveloped in the low cloud and you are working very hard to follow your procedure and complete your checks. After a few minutes you break through the top of the clouds into glorious sunshine and the world appears to be a different place. To cap it off you know there's a coffee on the way and you are earning a living from all the enjoyment and satisfaction you get from doing your job and your hobby in a professional and safe manner. <hr></blockquote>
