Prepare for OE? It's like riding a bike... and the check-airman being a single pilot on the first leg

You forgot to mention that this has to be accomplished at 3am body time.

After 3 hours of MSFS in the dark room you then take a "rest break". Lay down on a lumpy mattress in a narrow box that is 6 inches shorter than you are. As soon as you doze off have a fat 60 year old woman bang on a bunch of china and silverware right next to you and then repeatedly smack the side of your box with her huge hips.
Then 3 more hours of MSFS in the dark room.

Agreed, just a midair waiting to happen.

Nope Amish...Bay of LA...but the Baja part was correct. After my 9/11 Furlough I spent 4 months down there fishing and surfing every nook and cranny...LOL. Stopped driving down three years ago after my second was born....just way too much crap going on.

Did you race/pit for anyone in the Score 500/1000 or just go to watch? I flew a King Air for a race team for two years...kinda bumbed me out to see how some of the teams bended the rules w/ the air-support. Oh well....Still killer to check out the 1000 HP Class 1's and Trophy's...Need to get down there again.

Baja.

Many of us finished training the during the 2nd week of Feb. and are still waiting for OE. Nice paid vacation!
