Getting some flight gear: part I

It seems like the expenses doesn't end in the first month here. Well, at least this uniform is so cool, isn't it? Well, the wings and the stripes are still missing but as soon as I receive them I promise I'll post it here, with me wearing it of course.

The pilot shops here are a bit confusing, you enter there willing to buy a specific thing, then you get there and they have so many things you're not sure what you really need anymore. From teddy bears wearing flying jackets and remove-before-flight-keyrings up to anything your money can buy: air-crew clothing, plotters, charts, radios, headsets, jackets, books, bags, gps, stoppers.


Oh, and for those asking what is that funny bottle over here, that is a fuel tester, very interesting by the way. It not only allows you to see if there is water and other contaminants in the fuel, it also traps the water inside the jar!

I've spent the morning in school reviewing the subjects studied on my private-pilot license, it seems a lot now. And there is so much more to come! Oh, and I met my instructor, Helge his name, a norwegian guy, probably younger than me, what a name. Seems a little cold or even harsh, but let's wait and see. He gave me already 2 chapters of instrument homework and promised me that we start flying next week, sounds good!
