{Told from Kredas's own point of view}I've always been interesting in flying things; birds, bats, kites, planes, jets, helicopters, insects, etc. When I was five years old (human years) I went to the beach for the first time with my parents. A flock of seagulls passed by above us rapidly. I stared at the flap their wings and soar with the air currents. It was the first time I've seen a seagull, but mainly I was curious of why they were flying so fast. I was assuming they were in a hurry, but why? Soon I heard the roaring of a plane's engine and propellers. I looked up again and saw a plane that zoomed across avoiding the seagulls by just barely a inch. I was amazed. Though the plane's colors did look a bit familiar. I wonder where I've seen those colors before.. I look around and then look at myself. Oh... I have those colors..I chuckle and then go over to my dad. I ask him about the plane. He tells me its a biplane that was made for the sea, so its a seaplane as well. I listen carefully as my dad explains more details about the plane. A few minutes later I hear something large skidding alone the water, kinda like a jet ski or a speedboat. I turn my head to the ocean and see the plane flying right above the water. I was amazed. I never knew a plane could do that! I guess that's why its also a 'sea'plane.
14 years later..
I'm currently 19 (human years). On my birthday this year, I went with a few friends to a private airport. One of my friends had rented a plane. As we arrived, my friend pointed to a plane, i recognized it as the biplane i saw at the beach when i was younger immediately. Then it even got better. My friend told me that we would be flying in that same plane! I was extremely surprised, happy, and anxious. Then he told me that I would be flying it. My excitement dropped. I didn't know how to fly a plane! He calmed me down and told me that he'd teach me. He'd learnt to fly biplanes when he was a 14. I smiled as my began to be excited again and more confident. The plane only had two seats, one for the pilot and one for passenger. Luckily the four of us could fit in those seats as they were quite big, two in each seat. It was squished, but it was worth it. He taught me a few tips and the controls of the plane, then we drove the plane to the take off lane. I got nervous again, but I
believed in myself. I slowly used my paws and changed the plane into flying mode and started it up, slowly we began moving down the runway and started speeding up. We finally took off 2 minutes later and the view was breath taking! Since biplanes dont have roofs, the view was just even more spectacular. Ten minutes later, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. In front of us, were a flock of seagulls, and we were flying in the exact same path this plane flew when I first saw it. I avoided the seagulls, and then we gently lowered to the sea level and swiftly flew right above the water. I reached out my paw and touched the ocean. It was absolutely amazing. It was utter
paradise. A few hours later we returned to the airport and the amazing journey ended.
Both of those would have to be my favorite memories. I wouldn't be able to pick one by itself. :)
Here is also some art of my keardor, Reed, learning from Kredas of how to be cool XD
