It's 820 PM, and oh man, today has been ups and downs, rollercoaster all the way 5 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,800 in all aspects, by the way the sound quality is because I'm doing this on the iRiver recording 6 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:47,000 on its internal microphone, so whenever I basically move my hand on the casing it creaks 7 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:55,640 and scratches, but in general the quality is not bad, I found, so where to start off, today 8 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,720 was supposed to be a flying day, and literally flying day, getting up really early, 415 to catch 9 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,760 easy jet to Amsterdam, where taxi Eric was waiting to drive me to Antwerp about an hour and a half, 10 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,720 to do some serious flight training with Wing Commander William, and when you're crazy about 11 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,880 flying like I am, and you got one of the best in the business to train you, you'll do almost anything, 12 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:24,760 and of course, driving back up after that, and taking the 955 flight home, which gets me 13 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:33,880 in almost exactly the same time, 10.05 since we gain an hour, flying back in time from Amsterdam to London. 14 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:41,320 So, I recorded some bits in the car, and I was going to do a much longer recording in podcast 15 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:49,400 on the way back, but I'll get to that in a second, why that didn't happen.
