Pardon for cannibalizing your phrase, Daniel. Haha!
I've just got here in Perth on 6 March 2009, so I've been here for a couple of days now.
The air is so fresh, smelling of eucalyptus, so windy - this is where I wanna be! The skies are so darn blue, its beautiful! Cloudless, of course.
The bunks are very much improved from the dogholes we came from in Seletar and the food is awesome in comparison as well.
In short, everything is good and I am raring to go!
I'm flying with one of the strictest instructors here and he has a reputation for getting guys chopped for not meeting his expectations so that wasn't a pleasant surprise to me when I was assigned to him.
But you got to think positive and not let stuff like that get you down. I am confident I will nail it and fly as well as him and learn as much as possible from him.
My first sortie today was a mixed one. I am disappointed in myself somehow. Perhaps my expectations of myself are too high. My checks are okay, but my feel is not there when it came to the flying. Too gentle.
Must do better next sortie. I think tomorrow I will be flying two sorties in a day. A bit nervous as the learning curve for two sorties in a day is damn steep.
