We were some of the instructors and students from HAI that joint Lee and Linda out in the woods just west of Sanford for New Year. First time I have been celebrating the whole New Years eve outdoor with out freezing.

I was one of the few instructors that stayed around KTIX for Christmas and New Year. Well, weather did not allow us to fly Christmas Eve, so Jens, Ed, Ronan, Kamie and I went to Walmart and bought some rc cars and had a lot of fun with them. The same day HAI received two of the new CBi's. They came in this big truck!	Ed, Ronan and Jens playing with RC cars


December 2004: Christmas lights
The Americans are really crazy with Christmas lights. You can see whole houses like this one just covered in lights. I must admit though that I like it. Don't get surprised if I have a house looking like one day!

December 2004: Corey's CFII

After Corey was done with his CFI with Francois he asked if I could do his CFII. I always had fun when I was flying with Corey - so even though I was quite busy I told him I could do his CFII. But it would be after my I was done with my other students.

We started on his CFII Thursday evening after I was done for that day. I shortly told him what I wanted him to present for me from the PTS and what we needed to cover in flight. On my "day off" the following weekend we got to fly and covered some of the ground.

We flew three times before he did his checkride. To which Dave Thompson said: "This is the best CFII ride I've ever done". Well done Corey

16 October 2004: Flying with Marcus for his CPL

Marcus and I were in a OGE hover at 800 ft in A4 when Jens and David came around in 827. They flew around us and took these cool pictures before we returned back to KTIX in formation.

Marcus were quite low on hrs after his PPL and IR and needed to flew quite a bit before he had his 150 hrs to his CPL. On this flight we went out to A4 and practiced some vertical descents and advanced autos.

I have been in Orlando a lot of times to practice instrument approaches with my students. Most of the times we flew into KORL or KSFB to practice VOR or LOC BC'S. My last instrument student Jørgen Li and I decided to go for KMCO. We did the ILS to rwy 18L - nice approach light system	Two jets taking off as we passed at 2500ft	Short final KORL VOR-DME 07

More to come as soon as I have time...
