I’m finally back in the air!  Since getting my license on the last day of July (2008), I haven’t gotten a chance to fly, until yesterday!  The good news is that it all came back very easily.  I even pulled off a simulated emergency landing first try.  The “low” point of the morning was when we pancaked it in down at DJ Perry (Goldsby, OK) when we let it get a little too slow on the short-field landing.  As with every 3-point landing, there was an audience.  A couple of laughs over the radio was all we got though.  The 2nd landing we shot up at Westheimer (OUN) was much cleaner.

I’m excited about this course.  Not only do I get to fly the Cessna 152 Aerobat, I also get my complex aircraft signoff in the Arrow (hello retractable gear!).  I get to do a solo, night, cross country flight, as well as many more hours of solo.  It will be good for me.  Now I just need to get it done so I can go on with Secondary and Instrument.

More later!

I’m pretty much just spinning my wheels these days.  I’m taking COMM 1113 “Principles of Communications” this Intersession to get it out of the way before the fall semester.  I wish I had discovered Intersession before this past May… Getting a course out of the way in three weeks is amazing.

My GPA is continually rising now that I’ve switched to Aviation.  Final grades aren’t in from this summer but it looks like I came out of it with eight hours of 4.0.  I think that will be enough to finally get my old college off my back.  Still not enough to officially switch majors though… That looks like it will have to wait until after this Fall.
