All right time of a little update. Not too much has happened, I finally got in the simulator yesterday so I could do my lesson on emergency procedures. It was a little different than a regular cockpit, and the screens were a cool effect, but I didn't like them. I didn't like the screens because your view was limited to those screens, so given a ( Read more... )

Yesterday I woke up at 7:15, got dressed went to Dunkin' Donuts with Don & Justin. The hopped on the bus to go to Brunswick, ME for the airshow. It was a very long ride, 3 hours there, but we passed by Portsmouth so I thought that was cool. Then when we got to the airshow a F-16 just took off...it was un-freakin'-believable...I think I pissed ( Read more... )

All right, this isn't going to be much of an update or anything just a quick blurb. Today I had math in the morning, which was easy, and then Fundamentals of Flight, which was easier! We went out and did a pre-flight of the airplane and everytime the teacher asked what something was I knew it. Some kid called me an "Airplane Slut." I guess that's a ( Read more... )

H'okay Flight #4, it was all right, all we did was slow flight, 2 stalls and recoveries, and then we did a touch & go, then came around and landed. I landed the plane by myself kinda, it was too bumpy for me to do it completely by myself. Flight #5 went pretty smoothly, I did everything myself at the beginning, doing pre-flight and radio calls to ( Read more... )

Today was a little different, I went home last night to see the Spaulding Marching Band and they were fantastic. The new uniforms, tubas, and drumline look awesome! They even let me do the cowbell cheer! So I was excited about that. Then Don and I went back home and he did his flight plan to Conneticut. Then this morning we left at 7:30am to come ( Read more... )

Yesterday was amazing. I just had psychology in the morning from 9:30-10:50, and then nothing until 2:30 for my flight block. Flying was spectacular yesterday, it couldn't have been better. I was at the flight center at 2:15 for my 2:30 flight block, because we have to brief before we even get into the plane, so I showed up early to get the maximum ( Read more... )

All right so today is the last day of Orientation, which is kind of cool. I have a little bit of time to do whatever I want. They made all the Aviation Flight Operation (AFO) majors go into the Auditorium at 10 for a meeting to meet our Certified Flight Instructors (CFI), but they did it alphabetically in thirds so I'm the last group to go. If I ( Read more... )

THIS IS IT! I'm at Daniel Webster College. Unfortunately I have to make this a short entry because I have a busy schedule for Orientation but here are the highlights. Friday I moved into my room and set everything up, my room mate Don is the man, he's awesome. DWC has had us busy all week with this that or the other, but mostly lectures on what's ( Read more... )
