Default RE: The joys of instructing

Yup.  It was fun in and around Louisville in the S76.  We even did some low level flying in the Global 5000 which was interesting, to say the least.  We had the Convair flying "encounter" flights around us.. coming in towards us at 500 feet below, then passing under, then we did some flights where they would come in from behind and ascend directly in front of us, then come in on an angle to fly parallel to us at about 1/4 mile out, that sort of stuff. 

As of this morning, though, the King Air was down.  the pilots were going to take it up for a test flight this morning to see if the problem was fixed.  I've not heard anything yet, so we will see.  If we don't get the King Air, we may take the other Convair 580.  I hope it's the King Air, though.

I'll PM you.
