Wow looks like you had a grand old time bud.

I couldnt make it, had instrument written, 250 x country and checkride so it was a pretty busy weekend.

Nice shots though, I always take pics of stuff ive never seen before too, and leave the real picture taking to someone who knows what theyre doing lol.

BTW those tire marks from the 380 are impressive. It leaves rubber just from going through? That thing is massive!

It was a pretty good time, that A380 is massive, and the tire tracks if left from just being pulled were pretty astonishing.

How'd all the instrument work go?

Sounds good!  Long wait for me still, I have to wait until March 5th, 2010 before I can apply again, but that should be right around the time the local ANG F-16 squadron will be accepting applications.

Well it sounds like your still headed for the dream! Im sure one way or the other you will be flying. The ANG deal sounds pretty good. I might have to start looking at that depending on how the AD stuff goes. I wouldnt mind being a non pilot officer, working in aerospace eng. but the dream is to fly.

The wait, oh the wait, and mine hasnt even started yet lol. That whole time period between getting accepted and actually starting everything must be a killer!

It's fun, then it's another 6 months to a year after OTS before the flying even starts! :P
