Week 5

Well, i never did get to update like I wanted this weekend, so I'll give some bullets and try to come back to elaborate later: I bombed the Instruments II test on Monday, passed just barely, but it definitely got my attention so in turn I did better on my weekly EPQ (these 20 question quizes stress me out more than anything) Monday/Tuesday flights went well, I think airsickness is over for good. This was definitely a Halloween to remember, I SOLOED!!! (I flew around the pattern for about an hour by myself as the sun set) That is a fun story I'll hopefully be able to tell in full later, highlights included being able to make cool noises as I banked and climbed. The weekend brought a "career day" where pilots of just about every aircraft gave us a briefing on their platform and the life we could expect. Then we got to climb all over the planes in a private air show!!! Life is good, God is really taking care of me/blessing me everyday.

This week (week 6) looks exciting, flew twice today adding in Loops, aileron rolls, and split S's (i'll explain later) i'll fly and sim the next two days then prolly have my mid-phase check ride on Thursday with a weather test on Friday.

I like the poem; very nice, especially if you can honestly say it's true.

Hit Man: I like the poem too. Kinda reminds me a little of the 38th chap of Job. Look it up and see what you think. Take care and congrats on the no-puke era! :) dd
