Some flying done...

... But mostly sitting around waiting for some good weather. 2006 is gone, and we're now 2 weeks into 2007. I've now flown the aircraft twice, and been in the sim twice. Back at Goodyear I was flying at least once a day, so this is a bit of a shock - and very disappointing.
Some of the other guys have been getting a lot of sim time in, but our instructor seems keen to do things by the book - which means being scheduled for a flight, but then having to cancel because of bad weather. Aside from the course taking longer than planned, and therefore costing more money, it means I am getting a little bit ground happy. I feel my flying skills had rusted over somewhat in the 3 weeks or so between leaving Goodyear and starting flying at Oxford, but now that it's been 2 months since leaving Goodyear, and I've flown twice...... and that's not taking into account that what I was taught in Goodyear seems to be different to what is expected here. *shrug*
I can't complain too much - the view out of my 'office' window is still much better now than it ever has been.
Anyway, here are a few piccies taken out of the back of the aircraft the other day. I didn't have my camera with me, just my mobile - but the piccies aren't that bad. Hopefully soon I'll get some decent piccies and videos.

A lot of rain had fallen the night before (pic taken 10th January)
