The joys of the International Standard Atmosphere

I'm now halfway into my second week and my head is already swimming with many interesting (and quite a few un-interesting) facts about aeroplanes, aerofoils, piston engines etc etc etc! One thing I have learnt is the sheer volume of work that is involved, life at the moment pretty much just consists of working! We start classes at 8.40 every morning, and finish at 4.20, then it's straight back home and the text books open, and we continue working for a few hours. Am keeping on top of stuff at the moment, which is good as it's pretty hard to catch up once you get behind!


We also had our welcome party at the airport today, one hour of free food and drinks which the whole of OAA was invited to, and man there were a lot of people there! Was great though, really feel like part of the furniture now, and with AP309 starting in a couple of weeks we won't be the new kids any more! Also means we'll be closer to exams, but trying not to think about that...


Finally, Upper Heyford is still the most depressing place in the world, but we have a few house viewing lined up so hopefully life will be on the up up up soon! Watch this space!
