After an awesome weekend of LOFTs to Mobile, San Antonio then back, I’m beginning the awesome journey into preparing for my interview with Focus Air Cargo. They fly these planes (click on the word planes). So, once again, I will be blogging a little less. But still, I encourage you to check it out everyday! Who knows when the madness will start over again. I’ll post something other stuff about the LOFT in upcoming days.

We stayed in Mobile, Alabama, yes I said ‘bama! That was interesting. The Red Roof Inn wasn’t that pleasant. The only thing that I remembered about the Alamo was that it was in the middle of downtown San Antonio (SAT) which was weird because I had always pictured it being in the middle of a desert. There was a river that ran through the city too, which was cool. Laura’s house was amazing and her mom was more than hospitable. The friends were cool. Now I’m back. I’ll up some photos later. Till then…

The Alamo!

And the new title is, “Life After CAPT” I can’t really think of anything else right now.

Current Tunes I’m listening to on “elipod” (that’s what adelle calls it…she of course calls hers “mipod”) I love music! Anything goes really…

• Reamonn - Wish Album / new album from Germany chill emo. I like it…
• Corinne Bailey Rae - Self Titled / UK Pop artist kind of like Natalie Imbruglia & Norah Jones ish…
• Third Eye Blind - Self Titled / living old school! oh come on, just gotta get high sometime. its a great picker upper esp. when going to the beach!

Google Calendar - good stuff…

and yeah…I’m planning a X-Country trip with Manoj and Laura to SD maybe. I’ll keep you posted.

Well, my family and Adelle were here for quite a while hanging out with me in Sunny Florida. Check out the photo album for the latest.

I have an interview with Focus Air on May 2nd and 3rd so that means that I’m going to be studying ALOT!!! Wish me luck. I’ll keep you posted.

This time, it was my turn! The morning started out great with my family getting a tour of the MD90 simulator in Daytona Beach at 7:30AM. That meant that all of us needed to be out the door at 6:45 in order to get there on time. After some strict regimenting, we stepped out on the minute.

We got into the sim and I demonstrated some hard landings as well as some soft ones just to show them the realism of the device. I had my dad, sister and adelle follow along with me while I was left seat. I let them try to land the plane and helped out whenever I saw that things were getting bumpy. Then off to the ceremony.

I graduated summa cum laude along with four stripes. It was definitely an awesome day. We even had a special individual, by the name of Dan Robertson, give a very intriguing speech about the status of our industry. The food service went well after a week long of setting up and confirming the necessary funds, but everyone really enjoyed it. It definitely beat out the traditional BBQ that we normally get, but it did come at a cost. Well worth it!

Well, I had these two LOFTs with #3 yesterday and #2 today. The biggest failure of yesterday was that both FMS computer failed and we became a slant alpha aircraft using traditional VOR navigation. It was exciting and crazy on how fast you come up on each nav aid. Taking into consideration the altitude that you are flying at and just being fully ahead of the plane was the biggest lesson. It was great because I sat left seat and got to strengten my understanding and adhearnce to the boundaries between being Pilot Flying and Pilot in Command. Flying the plane from the right seat is a little difficult with always being fuly conscience that the Captain is still the Captain and that you need to ask politely that things be done. It’s quite weird.

Adelle came in yesterday and I introduced her to Tio Oxie’s. It was good times. We also hung out with Manoj, Greg, Steph and her friends at Daytona Ale House for quite a while. Good times!

LOFT #2 was today and I hand flew the flight due to both our autopliots being inop. I was el capitan today and once again flying into JFK with negative temps and icing runway condidions was fun. I elected to use flaps 40 and got the plane done rather well. I’m now officially done with the CAPT program and what a feeling it is!
