Good Luck for exams!!

The exam period has started at University in Malta so I would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone the best of luck for exams.

Most of all, good luck luck to my girlfriend. Exams aren't the nicest happiest moment of course but they have to be done, and they'll be over soon... best of luck qalbi!

As for me, today I have my BFC "checkride" in the afternoon. I did well in mst session so I hope I'll keep up my performance during the test!!

Off to "fly"...

Johnny turns 23...

Hello,
It's been nearly two weeks since my last post. Again, I was quite busy preparing for tests. I had another progress test of Radio Navigation (which is over next week with yet another final progress test) and today I had the second and last progress test of Flight Planning. That also means I'm done with Flight Planning as well for the time being. I did well in both tests and I'm happy with the results.

Last Thursday I also "celebrated" my birthday. Yes, I'm getting older... 23! Note the "celebrated" of course; my birthday "celebrations" had to include the studying for the Radio Navigation test which was on Friday. But at least on Friday I went a bit to Leuven with my friends. It's very lively over there and so we went bar-hopping around! So at least I did celebrate a bit for my birthday.

I also had another BFC session this week and I performed great in it. Next week I have my BFC "checkride" which will conclude the Basic Flying Course. I hope I'll do well!!

Anyway I'm off to sleep because in 7 hours I have to be awake again to prepare for a day of Principles of Flight and Performance.

Till next time!! (hopefully soon)

Birthday surprise...

Hello all
I havn't written anything for quite some time so I have a lot to say but I'll keep it very short. Last week we had 2 days of holidays so I had some time to roam about the place. I visited Aachen in Germany and also went to Mini-Europe in Brussels, next to the famous "Atomium". I have a couple of photos to upload so yes, more photos to be added to the list of "Photos to upload". Ye, I must find some time and put them up.

Anyway, on to more important things! This week, I had a big surprise... a VERY big surprise indeed!! Next week is my birthday, but I wasn't expecting such a great present and in such a way!! My girlfriend called me in the evening and told me to look around the room, because apparently my birthday present from her was here. And how could my birthday present travel all along from Malta to Belgium?! I looked around the room to find a BIG present, the Saitek X-52 Flightstick and Throttle (see pic below). My friends went down to Malta during the weekend and they got it with them. So ye, thanks a lot to you guys for bringing it up here!!

But above all, thanks to you my dear girlfriend for the wonderful present! I really appreciate it, but even more, I appreciate the planned surprise and all the effort behind it!! Thank you qalbi!!! It was a very big surprise. Thank you, thank you thank you!!

There were also cards & gifts from my parents, my sister and her husband and my cute little nephew and from my girlfriend's parents. Thanks to all for making my birthday a special day to remember. I really appreciate. Thanks everyone for everything and thanks again to my dear special girl ;-) XxX

As regards the course, I had two little progress tests this week; mass & balance and Physiology. All went well. Next week I have the second Radio Navigation test so I'm gonna be quite busy.

Anyway I'm off because it's about time I do some studying. Well had to spend some time trying out my birthday present ey?! :-)

Till later...
