Dear Readers! The heroes of the Beauty for a Million project continue to plunge into the world of amazing transformations. Angelica was one of the first to learn about her hobby. We must say right away that the hobby is extreme, but this did not stop our heroine. On the contrary, this is exactly what she wanted!

At the first meeting with the curator Alice, I talked a lot about myself. Including casually mentioned that she would like to fly in a wind tunnel. I even forgot about it myself, but the project coordinators are used to noticing even the smallest nuances. Therefore, a very pleasant surprise awaited me!

When Alice called and made an appointment near the Kursk railway station, I was immediately carried away by assumptions. The hint that I should dress warmer, for some reason immediately made me think that I was going to jump with a parachute. The daughter, on the other hand, was more "down to earth" and did not agree, saying that the organizers probably agreed to shoot in some series. Therefore, I will most likely be offered to take part in the extras.

None of the guesses turned out to be correct. The road led me to the wind tunnel!

Before I went to "fly", I was offered to sign a contract and warned about contraindications, and also instructed me about the rules of behavior inside the pipe, about the technique of free soaring, about the gestures with which signals should be given to the instructor.

But, apparently, from excitement and an overabundance of emotions, I immediately forgot almost all the gestures. Except for one - thumb down. This is how it is necessary to inform the instructor that I want to stop the flight.

Finally, I changed into a special suit, put on a helmet and began to climb to the pipe. Going inside the structure, I looked at the instructor. He recalled that it is necessary to lie down in the air and spread your arms and legs to the sides. Then I felt the air flow from below began to pump up, my body rushed up. Frightened by the climb and forgetting all the gestures to the instructor, I flapped a little in the air, and when I realized that nothing was working, I desperately clenched my fist and put my thumb down. Thus ended my first free flight in a wind tunnel.

After analyzing my actions, I decided that now I would not rise so high. And thanks to the advice of the coordinator Alice, I understood how to hold my body in order for it to really fly. It turned out that it was necessary to strain the muscles so that the arms and legs would help to stay in the air flow.

No sooner said than done! With each new entry into the pipe, I felt more confident. Parallel to this, my fear diminished. As a result, almost exhausted, on the sixth approach, I decided to complete my acquaintance with the wind tunnel.

Having arrived at home and having slept for more than an hour and a half, I remembered my adventures. The body ached, but the next day the pain was gone. And three days later, I again began to dream of free floating. There is a clear conviction that my flights in the wind tunnel will continue. At least I really want it!

project coordinator's comment: Many people should follow an example from Angelica! After all, for her every day is a new experience: she develops, experiments with pleasure, is very brave. In one of our conversations, she really did mention in passing that she would like to fly in a wind tunnel. Angelica forgot this moment, but I took note of her words. Moreover, she decided that if she was to arrange such an adventure for her, then by all means suddenly! I am pleased that our heroine liked the surprise. While we were getting to the place, Angelica did not give up trying to find out what we had prepared for her. She had all sorts of options, and one of them hit the spot. When I said that her guess was correct, and that she was going to fly in a wind tunnel, Angelica burst out laughing! Before going into the wind tunnel, standing in full ammunition, she became agitated. And literally after a minute of flight, she put her thumb down - Angelica showed that she wanted to interrupt the flight. This surprised me a lot. At some point, I even thought that she would end her adventure. But it was not there! Angelica desperately walked into the wind tunnel, with each new attempt she tried to understand what she was doing wrong, why she could not take off. At the end of the flights in the wind tunnel, she "with a laugh" said that she would not fly any more, once was enough for her. It doesn't sound like her, and therefore I knew that she would certainly change her mind. And it turned out to be right:)) Alice Framm
