OB flight

no, not the tampons. i have an observation flight tomorrow. i'll be flying to tuscon az with a couple of the girls from my class. it'll be my first time on an airplane in almost 10 years. i'm really excited. other than that, class is getting more interesting by the day as we learn more about the equipment and actually getting to do drills. yesterday we put out fires and learned about the different types of oxygen onboard an aircraft (chemical vs gaseous, etc). today we started learning emergency procedures and watched a couple of films. one was about an airliner that lost both engines while going from canada to spain and glided for 70 miles and actually landed and no one was injured....freaking amazing. the other was one that involved a dc-10 that had to be evacuated on the runway prior to takeoff because there were gas fumes in the cabin. not quite as eventful, but still extremely informative. well, i must read for a while before going to bed as i have a busy day tomorrow.
