Wow... busy busy.

After my last set of days off (when Natalie was in town) I have flown a lot. Much more than average. Which is great in that's exactly what I want to be doing - getting lots of hours under my belt. But at the same time, it's quite exhausting!

Since August 14th I've flown a total of 44.6 hours. This is JUST the time spent in the plane, and does not include the pre-flight and post-flight duties and any waiting around inbetween for passengers.

That 44.6 hours equates to approximately 21,400kms worth of travel! Here's a breakdown of just how hectic my last few days have been.

So as you can see... it's been quite a busy time! And although I was in Vancouver quite a bit, they were always quick turns there. I was supposed to be staying the night on the 18th when we got the call to go to Seattle... grrrr... oh well, that's the job.

Now it looks like I've got a couple of days off, which I need to use to get updated on some paperwork and prepare for some recurrency exams and flight tests which are approaching rather quickly.
