Well, we finally came to an agreement on our class patch and it should be in this next week sometime. It's tradition for the classes to get together and design a patch they'll wear the rest of their time in pilot training. Our first one didn't get passed, but it didn't bother me too much...I didn't care for the idea. I like the second idea much better, and if you're into sports like I am I'm sure you'll agree. A couple dudes in my class "stole" the idea from ESPN made a sweet design.
This next week is going to be a good one. We had a career day yesterday here on base from about 0900 in the the early afternoon which we had to be at. The operations group commander had a bunch of different planes flown in so we could talk with the pilots about their aircraft and what we can expect if we go that route. It was a good chance to get a close up of some sweet planes. I definitely know I want to fly fighters, and the order of my top three choices are F-16, F-15C, F-15E. At least for now...the order tends to change with time. Anyway, why this coming week is going to be so good is because first we have Monday off! The second reason is I'm going cross-country to the beach. We're taking off from here on Thursday and eventually ending up at Tyndall AFB in Panama City, FL. Friday we'll hit Hurlbert Field (Destin Beach) on the way to Pensacola, FL. Saturday we're headed to Keesler AFB around Biloxi, MS before flying back up here Sunday. It'll be nice to see some different airspace and relax at the beach some. I'll let you all know how that went sometime in the weeks to come.
Yeah, we do other things besides fly here in Mississippi. Some of our friends are from one of the local colleges in town, and they asked a group of us to a formal they were having. We hit up a nice restaurant in town before going to the dance, and then it was off to relax and get our grove on with friends.
Well, as it's looking right now I may be done with Tweets in about 3-4 weeks. It's gone fast! I have a few more instrument rides and then about 8 more formation rides before those
checkrides. The cross-country takes care of most if not all of our navigation rides. It'll be nice to have some down time to get back in shape and prepare Lord willing for T-38's!! =) Take it easy.
