Babadağ – Ölüdeniz, Türkiye
Above the blue sea, passion takes flight.
MY MOMENT
Learning a deeper connection with my wing.
I went to Babadağ near Fethiye in Turkey for SIV safety training with British instructor Jocky Sanderson. Learning with him was one of the things I had most looked forward to on that trip.
Launching from more than 1,700 metres, I watched a brilliantly blue sea open beneath me. Coastline, sky and wing became one unforgettable view. Above that sea, I completed many SIV exercises, getting to know the reactions of my wing and my own responses more closely.
What remains is the blue sea, the energy of the sky and moments of aerobatic flight. The concentration of training and the excitement of flying share the same blue backdrop. Together, they make an almost perfect memory.
