All systems check

Today was the last day of Ground school before our systems test. You can't say that were not getting pushed though. We finished up systems, covering the landing gear, brakes, Performance, a general review, and some smaller systems. We all left for Del Taco today, but we were lucky enough to ride with a FSI Instructor. Fitting all 7 of us in the car was interesting. Probably the most interesting thing to happen all week, so I have added multiple pictures... and for viewing delight a video

As you can see, the car is quite crowded.

The next topic... the rabbits. First one, then two, now 5. If you blow up the window, you will see 5 rabbits in front of Flight safety. I guess they like watching us stand around... We must be their petting zoo.
After tomorrow we will now be going to the FSI building in the old TWA hanger. The hanger is just a little bit further west on the airfield. This is where they keep the EMB-145 sim, the Q-400 sim, the CPT's, and Paper tigers (mock up cockpits for practicing flows etc.) We get three days in the sim with the motion off practicing running checklists and moving buttons, diagnosing problems... Then we turn on the motion, and the fun starts for real. Day one is the only happy day. No emergencies yet. After that, if your not scrambling to fix something... then your wrong, and therefor probably about to die. Off to study now, tomorrow should be good. Also thought I'd drop a note. Lucky guy I am... My awesome wife sent a little package with all my favorites, some movies and other fun stuff :) (Real food Rocks)
