We get back on the saturday and, because of my new responsibilities at work, I have to go in on the [Easter] sunday and the bank holiday monday and then the Tuesday is my first proper day taking on my new responsibilities. Rank eh? And none of it my doing :evil:

Its a shame, I cop for Good Friday and Easter Monday this year, I thought I was going to have a nice four day break.

A guy went into a bar and said 'shall I tell you a snowboarder joke', the bartender says you should be warned I am a boarder, the bloke behind you is a boarder and the one behind him is as well.

When we landed at Preveza airport last year, we got of the plane, then he said 'Oh I meant to tell you it was this airport that the plane went over the cliff'. At least he had the decency to tell me after :lol:

Bless him.

They did on ours, on the last day of lessons, to get prizes. Funnily enough I could'nt attend that day.

That sounds like fun, Rose :D
It's a shame you had to miss it.

Did you ever get any other slalom lessons?

Ally

No, never slalom lessons and only had lessons on first holiday. From time to time we have a private lesson if there is some-thing we need to improve. Most of our lessons have been Xcountry or boarding.

The programmes on Discovery are interesing viewing as they cover off these issues, and what it makes you realise is that one thing does not take down an aircraft, they have millions of back ups. In times gone by, they had not looked into the what ifs as much, and have learned by mistakes. Which only goes to make flying safer than ever.
One thing I learned recently was about Dopplar radar only hainv VERY recently been installed at many airports - this is what detects dangerous weather conditions that have been known to cause accidents and problems around air fields. It has been proved that with Doppler, a lot of accidents would have been prevented, especially ones involving microbursts.

Hard to imagine that a flock of birds could bring a jumbo down still though, isnt it?

:lol: TonyH, that could have been my Dad writing that last post, he knows all the facts on planes. He was an aircraft technician all his life, not big planes, harriers and such like, he said they often had to fly in them after work had been done by the technicians, just to keep them on their toes.

Wow thats a lot of jobs, glad I only have one. How on earth do you manage to reply to nearly 100 messages every week. :lol:
