Ring Around The Rosie
Patrick is in the middle of his training to become a Certified Flight Instructor. Next semester he'll add Certified Flight Instructor - Instrument to his credentials. In his training to be an instructor, it is important that he learns how to fix potential problems created by an inexperienced or nervous student. One of those hazards would be a spin. Today's flight was "spin awareness training". The report from Patrick is that it was really fun. I'm not sure I would feel the same way with a warning horn blaring at me and the earth rising to meet me in my cockpit seat, but sitting here in my office and watching the video...it does look like a fun twisty roller coaster. If you can stop screaming long enough to look around, you'll see that our fall colors are here, but they are fading fast. ;)
