Alright, So it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post. A lot has happened in that time I suppose some of those are:
- Got my float rating!
- went skiing!
- The Aviation trip guys got back!
I managed to crank out my float rating in a scant 2 days. I had set aside a week just because I didn't know what the weather was going to be like, and didn't end up using most of it. It was a lot of fun, we spent a lot of time doing the requisite touch and go's, but did a lot of other cool things like low-level flying, operations in confined areas, and step-taxiing, all of which were a lot of fun to do, and I'm told are not part of the normal stuff. I guess my light brushing up before I left paid off, cause my instructor Dave said I did amazingly well through everything, even learning faster and getting stuff quicker thn a 15,000 hour pilot from Alberta that was flying the week before! It was nice, my ego got nicely stroked, though I managed to scare the bejesus out fo myself a couple of times by letting the plane dig (didn't have the nose high enough on landing and the plane kinda dips when it touches down and if I left it to itself would probably flip the plane).
The Aviation trip boys got delayed coming back by crap weather and just got back tonight. Nice to have them all back safe and sound.
Other than that, everything is same old on the flat prairies.
