Flap Flap Flap Go My Wings...

Pretty uneventful few days. Did my two last x-country flights, which just leaves the last low level to do at some point. Pretty uneventful, other than the last one me finally managing to do pretty much a perfect takeoff and landing. Pretty sure it was the first one my IP didn't actually touch the controls at all. Cessnas aren't exactly C-130's but hey, at least when that infamous scene in the movie comes when a pilot gets taken out by some unnamed crazy guy I'll be able to at least attempt to save the day. I kind of wonder whether the nav is the one who does all the radio work in the operational AF. That would be fun.

Muster time has been 1330 this week which is somewhat nice because you get to sleep in, but somewhat annoying because it's right in the middle of the day and you tend to just not get anything accomplished. Luckily I have done a bunch of studying, and should be ready to take the practice tests in a couple days.

Ooh and my license plates finally showed up, so next time you see some Joe Cool cruisin by tagged 5EXF814 you'll know it's me. And yeah, I sort of double taked when I first looked at it too. Something about the fate of sex at 14? If you can come up with a more clever interpretation please share. I might still get my initials or something custom next time around when it comes to renew. Hey at least the it would match this site's dns, so you'd really know it's me.

I've had a sort of annoying headache in the back left of my head for a couple days so ima go lie down. Not sure where it came from since nothing has happened and it's sort of been off and on, but I'm sure rest will improve things. Just sucks because after two days in a row I haven't run in like three days. Hopefully gonna have a good racquetball game during PT tomorrow and at least get a workout out of that.
