New Dimensions

Flying Parallel With Company ATR42 on Decent into a Different Northern Mine

The big droplets of moisture on our wings from the recent de-ice start to roll towards the trailing edge as we push the throttles forward. The airspeed indicator quickly comes alive as we start to enter warp speed, well so it seems as the heavy snow snow fall outside starts to turn into a tunnel of passing stars. He hit warp one and start to pull back on the control column, four seconds later we enter into the 3rd dimension. The gear retract and lights go out, no more flying through a tunnel, it's completely black as we enter into the low layer of cloud. The black hole. The speed continues to increase, the pressure starts to decrease as we go farther into the unknown. Soon a faint light is starting to appear ahead. Wisps of light red clouds start to fly by at incredible speeds. There's no sound to be heard as we push through the layer, squeeze through a few thin passage ways of a ragged top and blast into new heavens. It's soft and light up here, an atmosphere full of gentle blushes of reds, yellows, pinks and purples. Outlined in deep black and traced with light blue. The air is heavy with tranquility, calmness, peace and wonder. Energy runs through my veins. God is good.
