So apparently...more folks are tunin into this thing since it was in the family xmas card. That means more pressure to get this thing knocked out.

As of last post, I was in the middle of DIVOLC wishing I was flying. Well, I am out of DIVOLC...still wishing I was flying. We finished the class early on Thursday, and they scheduled me for my 2nd to last aerobatic flight (and most importantly last aerobatic checkride) on Friday. It was a good way to finish off the week, and the gang decided to head to San Antonio for Friday night. None of us had a flight until Sunday night...so it was game on.

Wouldn't you know it...they called and moved my flight to Saturday night....sweet. So, I turned in early, and got back to Corpus early enough to hit it. My first Night FAM(iliarization) was a great time. I had an awesome reservist for an instructor who gave me good gouge on smooth landings at night. Well, the planets must have aligned because I was ON, baby! I had some of my best landings that night. I was pumped.

Awesome, great weekend flight and Monday morning I was scheduled for my last aerobatic solo. And then...I took a look outside. I drove in to the squadron...where I was promptly cancelled. Infact, I was cancelled each subsequent day after that until Xmas leave. Somewhat frustrating...but that is the way it goes.

So, I am here at home, enjoying life. I was moved from RI's to formations...which means that after my aerobatic flights I will move right into basic formation flights. I am really lookin forward to it.

Well, not too much new going on...hope everyone is doing well over the holidays.

Oh, btw...if you have not heard, Alyssa has her own blog for her cruise between Hawaii and San Diego (tough life huh). The URL is as follows: http://jepense88.blogspot.com/

I encourage you to visit her ramblings, for they are communicated much better. She is out away for Xmas, and I know she likes knowing people enjoy what she is writing.

Alright, Chris...out...
