when i see you
The drama with MAI continues. I finally got in touch with my flight instructor today, just to catch up after the break and possibly schedule a night flight lesson or two before the new semester starts up. We had a long conversation before I left for break a month ago, during which I asked him whether we’d have the same instructor (there are four) for Flight II. He said we would–developing a rapport with your instructor during the early phases of training helps fill in the gaps in communication and can build confidence. As I learned today, though, Mr. Hahn (my instructor) accepted the position of head instructor at Liberty University’s aviation program, a few hours down the road in Lynchburg, Virginia. Apparently they made him a good offer, and considering the college’s quasi-abandonment of the missionary aviation program here, it’s completely understandable that he accepted. He’ll be moving up into a program its parent college supports wholeheartedly, among many other advantages. I’d have done the same in his place, but from where I stand now, not quite at the base of the mountain of training ahead, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like people are jumping ship from the program left and right. At least it didn’t happen mid-semester. So I’ll have another instructor in a week, most likely Mr. Wing (who I like very much). So it goes.
I’m off to the gym to fight the hordes… *sigh*
Well, you can’t go wrong with Mr. Wing… He’s even got a name for flying! : )
True, true… It has been mentioned :)
And how could it be avoided! Have a good night! : )
