well, i'm back.

crashed and burned.

got stressed out on test 1 and flew very, very badly. sucks, failing when you know you can fly better than that. i think i set a new airgrading record by taxiing onto the grass a mind-boggling 3 times in 1 sortie. naturally that sortie was my test. sod's law.

i know there isn't any shame in it. but it obviously isn't a nice feeling to fail. i'm trying to console myself with the fact that the government effectively paid me a couple grand to go on an all-expenses paid holiday, with a spot of flying thrown in.

it was great while it lasted.
