The IP I'v been flying with has been great, He's a first assignment instructor pilot and graduated the USAFA in 2005, with Steve. I'v been having some difficulty controlling the plane on final approaches in particular and he's convinced it's because I'm left-handed and has been making me do things right-handed in the flight room so that's been pretty funny. I definitely think he's right though, I don't have quite the dexterity with my right hand that you need to finesse the plane in for landing. I seem to get by during most other stages of flight but the landing is really sensitive. He's been pretty encouraging and I think I'll get it down better, I fly again with him Monday so hopefully there will be some improvement.
On a sort of funny note... When the hurricane was predicted to come right at us on Wednesday, they implemented this plan to move all our planes (like 60 T-6's) to Arizona, and they actually told us Wednesday evening that we had Thurs and Fri off. Then, of course, we get called in at 9am on Thursday morning after they decided the massive plane movement wasn't necessary because the storm was being tracked to head north before it got to us. So that was a pretty big bubble burster, but it got me in the jet again which was good for me getting over feeling sick every time I fly.
But now it IS the weekend and time to chill, though I'm sure at least Sunday will be a full day of studying. Enjoy the weekend!

For the record, I enjoyed the dashes.
Hey CJ, I just tap your url on your profile page on my instinct and presto, I'm on the blog. Hope the instrument studies go well. I'm just guessing that you are studying basic instrument procedures before you get into the radio instrument, but I don't know their process. Good luck.
Dad
