Another day! More flying. Its great to see the students making progress. Its also interesting to be doing touch and goes from an international airport. That is different. Every now and then we need to do holding turns while a chopper or shorts 360 or a 737 or Russian Antonov does a landing or take off. And then when the controller say call finals we respond, with a Sir we will remain in the holding pattern for another 5 minutes to allow the jet blast to dissipate a bit... Makes for real interesting flying. One also has a 4km runway. It makes go around really obsolete. If you do find the student stuffing up, it is simply a matter of applying power, getting level and then re-aligning for the 3.5km of runway that is left. Heck we can do it 8 times in one go...
Nice.
But we are settling into a routine of sorts. It is not over working but comfortable. We need to last for two weeks so that is not unreasonable. Secretly mike and I are hoping for some rain...
I am off to bed. The day has been long and I am tired.
Wish you were here!
