okay. no more emo or asking me whats wrong. I'm good.
finally managed to solo again after a long time. hoho.
haha I was held back at the taxiway for quite some time with a few others just before I took off for my solo. After around 10 minutes of holding at taxiway whiskey 1, radio silence on 118.45Mhz was broken by a certain november-niner-mike receiving clearance to land at seletar. It turned out to be this Gulfstream IV with the registration no. N9999M (hence the callsign N-9M), with only 3 people onboard (which is quite strange for a large private jet like a Gulfstream 4). The pilot had a rather distinct american accent, and the aircraft was American registered (all US registered civil aircraft have reg numbers beginning with N). I wonder whether it was some VIP flight carrying some bigshot...due to the aircraft having a rather strange registration number and the rather small amount of passengers (1, and 2 pilots, or 2 and one pilot), and that all the aircraft in the circuit were grounded as the jet was on a long final approach. Usually that doesn't happen, as we have learjets and the occasional 737 taking off quite often there and we don't have to all stay on the ground. hmm. interesting. Or perhaps we can take a less exciting view of it, and hypothesize that it was just a normal private jet with a cool reg number due to its owner being rather eccentric, and that the 3 people on board were just the crew, and it was just coming here for maintenance by ST Aerospace, which has a maintenance facility at seletar.
It is deliberately unparagraphed so that only interested parties would read. However this paragraph here might have nullified that effect, and aroused curiousity in those who would not have read it if this paragraph wasn't here. boing.
