Previous Post Fixed!!

You should now be able to see the previous post, I lost internet when I was writing it, so I saved it into Microsoft word, and when i copied it back to hear it stayed as black text which was invisible on the black background!!

Pilots stuck on the ground, its like a fish out of water!

After returning since christmas break, it has been all out doing preparation for the flight test!! Well this past Monday, all the work payed off with a 90% percent pass on my Commercial Flight Test! It was a great feeling to have that done and out of the way, especially since we had planned on leaving Tuesday night for Calgary, then Vancouver. Seeing as how I am sitting at my computer writing this right now, its obvious we have not made it to Vancouver, and have called the trip off, due to 3 days of us not being able to make it even as far as Regina, and due to our limited booking of the aircraft, and our instructor only being able to get so much time off, this morning when the no go decision was made for today, we decided to cancel all together. The weather does not appear to be ending any time soon as we are forecasted to receive about 10 cm of snow this weekend.

After we made the no go decision and today, we went to the hangar to unpack our stuff from the airplane, and end up sitting around in the hangar/on the wing of the airplane for a while having a good conversation about options, flying, whatever pilots talk about when they are on the ground, and sad cause they can't go flying! While we were sitting around talking, we kept being teased by the mechanics as they would walk by, about certains sights, and sounds we would be hearing if we had of been having out conversation on an apron in Vancouver somewhere. " Hey guys, aren't those those some large evergreen trees, Oh look at that bald eagle". It was pretty funny, but after finding out that there are flowers blossoming in Vancouver, it was a little more heart breaking to think that thats where we should have been at that moment instead of sitting inside a big hanger which was probly colder then outside in Vancouver!

After we stopped thinking about Vancouver, and finished our conversation, we found out there was a Manitoba Moose game happening at the MTS center tonight, so we got online checked availability, and ticket prices, and proceeded to purchase tickets, and thats where our evening was spent, watching the Manitoba Moose, play the San Antonio Rampage. While at the game, we found out that winnipeg is hosting a Pre-Olympic mens hockey game, this coming Tuesday with Switzerland vs Belarus, and for $14 could not pass up the opportunity, so we will be back at the MTS center Tuesday evening for another hockey game.

As for the training side of things, I am now studying the POH (Pilot Operating Handbook) for the twin engine airplane I will be flying next, and will be starting to study for the written exam of my Instrument rating in the very near future. Upon completion of my multi engine rating and IR (Instrument Rating) it will be back home, and the job search will commence!

I think this is everything new since my last post, so I will write again soon! Keep checking in for new updates and pictures!!!
