Yuk!

horrible weather this morning... hoping this afternoon is better...

A small victory

While hanging around waiting for weather, I've managed to pass the RT practical exam, which means at some point in the near future I will be licensed to operate a radio in an aeroplane... which is nice.

loosing the will to live...

day 6 of waiting.... running out of u-tube's to watch... may have to go to a gun shop and fire a few rounds... :-)

scratching my arse...

Agggghhhh! Just about all I can do now is wait for the weather to be kind. Cabin fever of sorts! I could be here until Sunday at this rate...

Oh and I want to live here...

This place - "Spruce Creek" is wonderful - had my medical here...

It's at:

29° 4'48.69"N
81° 2'39.19"W

in Google Earth

And another thing...

I did fancy staying here, but then again...











Now I'm all for TV dinners :-)

grrrrrrr

Well, the weather cheered up nicely, but was out of limits for an hour at one of my destinations... now it's fine, but too late (too close to night for my return).... ARSE!

It gets better (or worse)

Now the weather is playing games again... Visibility has dropped just like the cloud base...

Frustration!

Bloody hell! Now that I have just to complete my qualifying cross-country (a 150+Nm flight with two stops away from base) the weather has decided to play silly buggers... If the weather is OK at bease, it's out of limits away...if it's OK away, it's out of limits at base... Then today a window was opening when we discovered no fuel! How annoying is that?

Progress

Flying is going quite well now - managed to knock off a couple of the major milestones - just two left. Hopefully will have it all done and dusted by Monday....

Funny thing happened at the office today...

Actually not funny at all and not really at the office... One of my fellow trainee flyers had a mishap today - she is OK, but made us all think a bit... Not her fault, weather changed, caught many out, but she was unluckiest...

Here is a very poor picture of the aftermath.

Onwards and upwards.

Finally...

Made it to Florida to complete my PPL... Today has been an administration day, I'm "formed out". Fingerprints done... lovely.
