Deniz aşağıda, yukarıda gökyüzü ve ikisinin arasında ben:) muhteşemdi. Gökyüzünden aşağıyı izlerken bölgeyi göstererek anlatması (Şurası Kelebekler Vadisi, şurası Fethiye merkez, şurası Kıdrak plajı vs ) farklı bakış açısı kattı. Bölgenin sunduğu muhteşem manzara ve havanın da güzel oluşuyla unutulmayacak bir gün yaşadım. Artık bence paraşütle uçmak, 1.sınıf uçmanın farklı bir versiyonu:) teşekkürlerrrrr”
