This is Dave White. He's my bud.
We spent the weekend on an intensive IFR training course in Pennsylvania.(See ...Covered in Cheese below!)
Dave and I trained together in a full motion simulator for two days and we learned a lot.
Dave learned more than me cause he has a bigger brain.
Dave's brain is the size of a Smart Car.
My brain is the size of an Eggo waffle but I make Dave laugh and that's saying something.
I learned a lot from just watching Dave and his Smart Car-sized brain manuever this simulated flying machine through a series of potentially catastrophic events.
It was very very cool, if you like that sort of thing.
In our off hours we ate TCIC (Things covered in Cheese), laughed and had a few beers. Once I made Dave laugh so hard he teared up and made little girl noises. Take that Smart Car Brain.
On our way down there we were diverted briefly around the Pittsburgh area because a VIP was inbound along our route of flight. The vip? President Bush. That's right Dave and I and Airforce-Freaking-One where sharing the same air space for about 10 minutes. How cool is that?
If you put President Bush's brain and Dave's brain side by side, President Bush's brain would get all scared and run away crying. Even my Eggo waffle-sized brain is bigger than Georges'.
On the way home it was sunny south of Pittsburgh and then we hit some weather, for a second or two it snowed inside our plane (this even puzzled Dave!) and then we were in some nice solid cloud(IMC) for several minutes
I am a little tired from nearly 16 hours of instruction squeezed into two days. Dave says he is too but I'll bet he could jam some more info into that Giant Skull/Brain cavity of his if he wanted to.
