Since Patrick is busy learning, studying, and training, I thought I might post a little photographic update of his progress.
His uniform arrived. He was fitted for it at one training location and then received it at the next. His training has taken place in Texas, Utah, Colorado, and Missouri. It's amazing that it didn't get sent to the wrong destination...like my luggage did once. 🤪 The only thing he's missing now is the cap...which is ordered.
I believe these are the helmets that they wear if they have to fight a fire onboard the aircraft...but don't quote me.
The rest of these images are of his various types of flight deck training including procedures and systems...and everything in between. I'm not sure that they are in proper sequence to his training, I just thought it was interesting how they have varying degrees of detail and likeness to the "real thing".
(I'm not certain, but I think I recognize that right arm as a Patrick arm. (below))
He has a video that shows how those masks go on. They're pretty cool. The straps expand (perhaps by air pressure) to be way bigger than the pilot's head and then once the mask is in place it "sucks" to his face and locks down around his head. Creepy but in a cool space-agey way.
That's all I have for now.
Keep up the good work, Patrick. We're cheering for ya.
