Flying
At the end of 2021 I started flying real airplanes, not only simulated ones.
While trying to learn, how to fly gliders in a club, I realized, that this is not my cup of tea and I switched to flying something, where an unpowered landing is considered an emergency.
I managed to obtain my sports pilot license end of April 2025.
