Flight Test Week

So as many of you have probly assumed by now, I haven't forgotten about my blog. After being harrassed at christmas that I hadn't posted anything in a really long time, I came back and jumped right into preparing for my Commercial Flight Test and haven't had time to write anything until now. the flight test is scheduled for Saturday, but the weather since Monday has been cloudy with snow, poor visibility etc. So I got up this early this morning hoping to actually get my Pre-Flight test done with my instructor, and as forecasted the weather was bad! So the most productive thing I can do today is spend an hour in the simulator later!

So i figured I would spend a couple minutes updating you all on here. There hasn't been to much happening since my return to Steinbach. The temperatures are much nicer now then before I came home, don't think I have seen anything colder then -11 since being back. Myself and a couple of guys have been out playing a fair amount of hockey. The local arena has an outdoor rink that they flood every morning, and admission is free, so we have spent some quality time playing some hockey with the locals, or just by ourselves!

I have attached a few pictures below of the results of fog at sub zero temperatures. We woke up Tuesday morning to seeing everything covered in frost, but it appeared so heavy that some people were speculating about freezing rain. It was actually freezing fog!!


This it what it looks like up close! This is the tip of the propeller!!
