Basic Flying Course Session 2! 10 days to Malta!!!

Hello...
Today I had my second BFC session. Obviously it got more complicated; several new instruments were introduced. I think my performance was much better than my first session. I was more focussed and I handled the controls pretty well. I performed some climbs, descends and turns and they were quite good. It's interesting of course, but I'm looking forward to when I start on the actual simulator and more than that, the actual flying in the real sky!! Flight Simulator is good, but now that I know I'll actually get in the air for real, I obviously want it more than Flight Simulator!! Below is a picture of the aircraft we're using; a Piper Archer. It is not the actual aircraft in our Flight Simulator but it is similar. That's also the first aircraft I will fly for real!!
The day when I'll be coming to Malta is soon arriving as well; 10 days more!! Note the word "coming" to Malta and not "going" to Malta. That simply says that Malta IS my home and there's nothing better than that... and I can't wait to be down there for good!! I miss my girlfriend, my family and all my my friends. Yes, 10 days, and counting...

As regards our internet, yesterday we had a guy from the ISP coming over to our house to check the signal (if there was a signal...). He said he found a bad connector out in the street and replaced it. Pity that didn't seem to solve the problem because one hour later, I didn't have any internet connection again... (bad connector... sure). It's incredible...

Anyway I'm off because I've got loads to do. I have two progress tests next week so... better study!!

See ya!!! (Malta... 10 days!!)
