no flying, Dubai instead!

Yesterday we all got up flying! Me and Emma did the first wingwalking training and at the end of the day me and Liza flew. It all went very well! And Sus flew us nicely as always :)Jacob got up an flew PYTHON also. All teams are here now, the last ones I think are ready to fly. It is so many cool airplanes and pilots.... Cant wait to see the show! There is also helicopters and a dragracer here. And two guys with motorbikes, one of them will jump OVER AN AIRPLANE! So they built a ramp and wil do the stunt on the showdays. Thats crazy....!

Today we got to the hangar as usual. The wind was strong allready in the morning and didnt change.... Instead we put the airplanes into the hangar and got back to the hotel for lunch. After that we and some of the american teams went to Dubai for some sightseeing. Since I've was around last time, two years ago, I've allready seen most of the stuff we visited. So actually it was pretty boring ;) Big hotels, enormous shoppingmalls, big buildings... doesnt really impress me. I saw that indoor skiing from the inside this time, and it was TINY! First I wanted to go skiing, then I realized how short it is so I skipped that.

We came back to the hotel pretty late, now it is soon 1am so Im off for bed! I'll got internet from now on, so I'll let you know whats going on here :) Better catch some sleep! Fingers crossed for good weather tomorow! Nighty! xH

in Al Ain!

Hey out there! Im back! This hotel we live on has a unrealistic expensive internet so I wont blog everyday sadly. Otherwise its nice, a five star Hilton and I share room with the two other skycats :)

We (me, Emma, Lisa, Claes, Linda and Sus) arrived in Dubai about 11.30pm and got to our hotel around 2am... Woke up for breakfast at 8 and met the rest of the team (Jacob, Benny and Magnus) who been here a while to put the airplanes together. 

At the aiport the day started with Jacob taking me for a flight in WASP, he wants us wingwalkers to try negative G! Lucky us! That flight was HILARIOUS!! We flew inverted and turned and flew loops, twisting and turning and I was so laughing all the time with millions of butterflies having a party within me! Rollercoster is like jumping up and down on your own feet compared. And the view!! Desert..... :) I got on video, no idea if it looked good, havent been  time to see it yet ;P 

Emma also got to fly today and after her ride we went for lunch.

Getting ready for Lisas flight we saw heavy clouds growing, and then sand blowing straight up from the sanddunes! Then the sandstorm came! It looked like a wall coming and we hurried to push the airplanes into the hangar. No more flying that day and we went back to the hotel. Everybody went to the gym, that was nice to get tired after a long flight. I did 160kg in the leg press, is that ok?? :) I have no idea..... ;P

Today Sus flew CATWALK today and Jacob PYTHON. A lot of teams flew today so we didnt had time to ww practise. But tomorrow! :D Its a lot of cool teams here, u can see some at the website I linked to :)

Back to you as soon as I can!! x Hella

Jacob presentating his Airshow!
Now we're boarded and will soon take off :)
C u in UAE!

Good morning!

What a great morning!

Sun is shining and Im sitting here with a cup of coffee. I got up at 6am and went to pick up my passport... then picked up a box at he post office :) Will show you later, I gotta try it on first ;P

Time for shower and then get a taxi to the railwaystation to go to Arlanda airport :)

Will be nice to change from snow and -15´C to sunshine and + 25´C! 

Bit later! x Hella

Take of to Dubai tomorrow!

Again it´s time for Scandinavian Airshow to perform at Al Ain Aerobatics!

My bags are full of clothes and gopro + computer stuff :) Had to by some new clothes... It´s a very different culture from us, I even had to buy some more clothes that covers my shoulders and longer sleeves to cover my tattoo. Specially when we are at the hangar on the military base it has to be proper. At the hotel it is more relaxed and we dress more casual.

I thought I had a great idea sleeping in the city to save some time tomorrow as I live on the countryside. Right now I-for the first time in my life- forgot my passport!! Unbeleivable. So first thing to do when I wake up is to go and get it! 

Otherwise... I hope nothing more is forgotten. Doggy has a home- thanks mum! One break-in horse was picked-up today and friends will care for my own horses. Tomorrow I got some exciting to get at the post-office... will tell u ´bout that later.

Well, since I have to get up earlier to get that passport I´ll better go to sleep now! Normally I got a hard time to wakeup in the morning, but when it is an adventures a head -It´s easy! So tomorrow we´re off to Dubai, then Abu Dhabi and Al Ain :)

So now when an adventures is on the go again, you can follow it here daily on our blog!

Sleep thight! Hella
