Hopefully

  • Going overseas again this year. With Bangkok and Seoul as possible candidates. (We saw a pretty interesting discount for tour trip to Korea)
  • Going to take a MAX owned by either Garuda or Lion
  • (Hopefully) Going to take 787-10 for the first time, and also it would be my first trip with 787. Possibly with Singapore Airlines who will take their -10s this March
  • Posting some of my Trip Reports on flight-report

Fly out of the country once again(already planning two trips and this is very likely to happen)
Fly more in general
Fly the 737 Max
Fly the A350 again (it was a great experience on Finnair)
Fly the 787 again (it was a great experience on Air Canada)
Get some sort of frequent flyer status (as much as I fly, i still haven’t gotten status)
Get more frequent flyer miles

Learn to fly (i wish but i’m not old enough) :(

My school held a aviation quiz and the main prize was a personal flight with an experienced pilot. Surprisingly i won and now ill go flying in the summer. My goal is to (at least) fly a powered plane in a straight line for the first time at he age of 15. And of course just enjoy the moment and have a good experience.

Well I could have been beginning the application for commercial pilot training but that is on hold until 2019. I have a few other goals though:

  • Relearn maths and physics
  • Go on the A350
  • Fly on a ULH flight
  • Get a job at an airport to earn money
  • Look into applying for ATC at NATS
  • Befriend more pilots
  • Get on the LH/SAS/BA A32N or the LOT73M
