Flying Graduation

Perhaps the proudest moment for any parents, is to see their son on the stage to receive the scroll. What more, this is not any ordinary scroll. This is my Commercial Pilot License scroll; earned from 2 years of hardwork, sweat and A LOT of sacrifices. Thanks to my parents' relentless support and understanding; for I am being able to be on the stage that day.

Head vs Metal

On completion of training in Jandakot, it is a custom for cadets to hit the CPL/IR gong before they leave. Here, the last 4 spartans of 121 managed to complete their training in the same week and hit the gong together; just as promised. We had a wonderful time chilling out with beers and picture whoring sessions in front of the gong.



Human battering ram against the gong is also part of the tradition. Instead of the stick and gong, now it's the head vs gong. Our heads were smashed so hard on the gong that it sounded louder than hitting it with the stick. I believe those were the loudest in Jandakot history. See the movie clip below to believe.
