>Congratulations, Captain Lim.

Many thanks to Harry and Wizard for both your encouragement and support.

To Ray, I was wondering if you were really serious about flying in the Airbus A320 simulator. Over here at the Flight Academy, the rate per session (4 hours each) is around USD 3,000 or USD 750 (RM 2,300) per hour and they are giving you 51% discount in Sydney?

In the movie 'Flight 2012', Denzel Washington wasn't flying an A320 but a fictitious plane. As I have mentioned in Chapter 1 of my book, you can't fly inverted on an A320 when it is on a normal flight.

Flight was based on a real story but the plane actually crashed and the movie dramatized the flying to make it more interesting.

We don't train pilots to fly upset down here but these manoeuvres were only practised by military pilots, not in civilian planes.

Hope you will enjoy the rest of my book in 25 Chapters when it comes out. Cheers!
