Tues, May 6

Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, just busy studying and stuff like that.  Well, we finished off last week with our academic test...I got a 100!  Pretty stoked about that; but can't celebrate for too long because we moved right into flying...at least some of us did.  I wasn't initially scheduled to fly until today, but there was a couple of guys from the senior class who needed checkrides so that bumped me and 2 other folks from our class from today to tomorrow.  However, the weather is supposed to crap out on us later today and tomorrow from what I hear.  I guess we'll see if I get to fly tomorrow.

When we're not flying, we're basically just studying.  Studying includes simply looking at the books or chairflying.  Chairflying is either sitting in front of a picture of the cockpit or going and sitting in the cockpit trainer and "flying" your mission or practicing your radio calls, etc.  It's invaluable to be able to do that, but I find that I can only study so much before I have to actually get in the airplane and do this stuff.  It seems that i've hit a plateau in my knowledge until I can see how it actually goes when we're in the aircraft.
