Starting to feel like a real flyer

So I haven't been totally on top of this blog lately. I'm going to try my best to get back with it and keep whoever still checks the site out updated and little more frequently.

Time here is quickly coming to to a end, we are graduating October 21st!  That's two months and three weeks! I'm in charge of putting all the graduation events together for our class which is kind of a joke because they have a graduation every three weeks so I pretty much just found out who the senior class banquet officer was and asked what they were doing. Everything has to be through the Officer's Club on base so there isn't really too many choices.

I've been flying all over Texas this month. It's really a big, beautiful state. We've been doing a lot of low levels which are military training routes that are flown at 500ft above the ground. I've flown through the mountains of Big Bend National Park and flown routes through the wind farms of San Angelo and Abilene. I'm really enjoying beening able to look out the windows and take a lot of photos on my little iPhone camera when I'm sitting in the jump seat. We normally have 1 instructor and 2 students in the jet. When we take the jet out, we do two student sorties so we swap seats halfway through if we are stopping anywhere for lunch. So when you sit the jump seat you actually get to look around.





Well I'm going on a "cross country" mission tomorrow. I'll be boing to be in Oklahoma tomorrow and staying at Tinker for the night. I've got to go plan for it! Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to write again later this week.
