Well troops, the course is plodding along, albeit at a far slower pace than desired or anticipated but mother nature can be cruel, even when the earth dwellers think that "it's a byootiful spring day" so more time has been spent in the classroom practising briefings and going over groundschool time and time again.
But yesterday and today have been somewhat invigorating and encouraging and I felt quite comfortable this afternoon 'giving back' Stalling 1, even if I did invent a new symptom of an approaching stall.
Earlier this afternoon I played student for a fellow FI student whilst he gave back PFLs. Now I'm not sure whether this should be in this thread or the 'Funny Comments by Students' thread but having selected a 'suitable' field around which to demonstrate the circuit to be flown I questioned him for verification of the actual field, only be told 'the green one with the trees'. I burst out laughing - he looked at me quizzically then the penny dropped. What made it even funnier is the fact that, only this morning I said exactly the same when asked by my FIC to identify a suitable field.
What a pair of muppets!!
Is there any hope for our future students??????
