Week 25 (23 - 29 July 06)

First thing Monday.... the dreaded Long Stab prog check.
Basically, I go fly a T-2C with an instuctor, who grades me on technique and test execution / test conduction, including time and fuel management. High stress situation, but still fun.

I had mine first thing on Monday the 24th. Flew with "Wichita" Bob Williams, for a total of 1.5 hours and a PASS grade! Woo-hoo! Tester 25 treated me right, but the back seat is for some reason less comfortable than the other T-2 aircraft.

Classes are same-ol-stuff.

Ended the week of flying on the 27th flying in Tester 12 (T-38C) with Ellers, practicing Lat-Dir flight test techniques...
