Tomorrow I'm supposed to fly with a new IP both flights. He just came over to our flight and seems pretty cool to fly with. He's an older lt col who flew all kinds of fighters and such and decided he wanted to finish his career teaching, as he began it. I think tomorrow should go well and I'll be all set up for the check on Monday with the weekend to go over everything and hopefully my hands don't get too "cold".
My dads planning on coming out on Tuesday which will be cool and there's some events on Wednesday as our class tracks. This is when all the active duty guys will find out what direction they'll be heading - (T-1's for the heavy route, T-38's for the fighter/bomber track, T-44 in Corpus Christi for the C-130 and some other oddball turboprop planes, or H-1's to fly helicopters). So even though I know where I'm heading, it will be exciting to see who goes where with additional interest in that probably 4 or 5 of the guys in our class of 23 will end up leaving Laughlin, so it's a bit bittersweet maybe for that fact.
