F18s vs Cessna 172
Get this.. one of my classmates was on her progress check. She was stabilized on the ILS about 5DME finals at 80knots. Then she can hear on the radio that about 3 F18s were behind her and also about land at the same runway and another batch were holding short on the runway.
Since C172 was to slow for those F18s, she made the 3 F18s initiate go around. (as she can hear on the radio)... and she and the instructor can see the planes both on their port and starboard side! How cool that can be? And imagine the feeling of the instructor!
I also have my own experience.. as i have touchdown and rolled out on RWY02R, the tower called for me to expedite my exit because two C130s were about to take off! When i exited the runway for stop and go, i held short runway 02R on Fox 5 while watched the two C130s take off! A sight for sore eyes!
Im done with my Core flying and it was a nice and memorable way of finishing it!

WOW someone seems to have had better fun with the F18s 
hahaha
Once we were made to hold short of 02L to give way to a couple of Sikorsky CH-53 Super Stallions taking off. Also a bunch of F18s and Av-8 Harriers were being readied close to Fox7 and Delta intersection...had a lot of photo ops
IFR traffic has become quite heavy now a days at clark! The other day i was holding over the VOR at 5000. My fellow batchmate was holding at 6000. I could see him clearly...both of us in the same leg of the hold. At the same time there was a PAL a/c on the ILS and another one just airborne and requesting clearence to proceed to the VOR. It was a good thing that the ATC was accomodating all of us training guys!
Yesterday i had a good experience of flying actual IFR conditions. We had a huge Cu buildup over the station at 4200ft. Had to hold at 5000ft. Was smack into the clouds and it was pretty turbulent. now and then there was precipitation as well. I gave the briefing for ILS 02R and when after a couple of holds we were abt to commence the approach then ATC advised us abt r/w in use change to 20L.
wind had changed from a healthy headwind for 02R to 130/09kts. But nothing compared to the day when we had wind at 110/13kts gusting to 24kts. we were making a full stop at 02 Omni. Was the last aircraft to land before VFR closed. Was coming back from CAB literally trying to outrun the rain but it caught up with us over Magalang. every aircraft ahead of us was reporting extreme gustiness on base and finals. It was one helluva ride down the other day
Cheers...
PS: Some of the seasoned aviators might find the above post childish but then for beginners like me and my fellow cadets...this happens to be a time we really enjoy, learn and cherish! Safe flt to all!

.Aero...its sad that we cadets have been delayed...but the reason as to why we were delayed is not that important...what is important is how our training is going on now. The place is buzz with activity again. The guys in my batch are flying daily...if time permits sometimes 2 IFR flights a day.
As for me, i am halfway through my MCC training now...and am learning new things on a daily basis. The training is tough but well worth the wait.
As is evident i now a days dont find time to post as often due to the hectic nature of my training. Cheers and safe flt to all...
By the way, the statement "spent 2 years worth of accommodation + living expenses + flights homes" is not entirely accurate! I cannot reveal the exact details of that as it is only for the cadets and am not in a position to give anything more!

Can any one here confirm that BH, ex boss CP is now running ClarK Aviation? Why would you go from running an airline as big as CP to running a pilot school? Just curious.

bh doesnt run clark direct but he is new group ceo running alpha aviation group at top level - they fired all of the uk staff so he could build his own team
??????????????
Alpha only got small share in Clark, nothing more nothing less. What is there 2 run? Only running Hulk Hoggan does is from the IRS & LG. Thought they only got an IT guy in UK so not much to fire. Is the Hulk really working 4 Alpha or pulling once leg? From CP to CA?? Like from Head of SM to a sariX2 in the provice.

Absolutely with the Hulk now in charge. As he cant go back to US because of IRS he has no option than to stay on here hiding.
