Just a quicky...

Just a quick update, mainly on account of having received the results for the two exams I took on friday. In Meteorology I got 90% and in FRTO I managed 92%.... both okay results, although could have been better!

I noticed I haven't posted a picture for ages, so here's a couple of pictures of the type of plane i'm flying at the moment:


Here's the "office" view:



And here is the plane (type) itself, although ours are obviously done up in CTC livery... but I don't have a good photo of ours yet so you'll take what you're damn well given:


Not a bad Aircraft, although not quite as sexy as the Alpha 160's that will be replacing them... They lose marks for not having a steerable nose wheel which means all taxiing turns are done mostly by differential braking (think how a tank turns, similar idea). Nice to fly though, and they glide forever which is good news if you get an engine failure!
