Saving...
Monday - Dec. 22. Had my second & last shot at the Link trainer this morning. My performance was much, much better than the first time. Went into Col. Peters office about 1100 to see about going home for Xmas. Made the mistake of leaning on his desk. Believe you me that won't happen again. Ray Sharp, a boy who bunks next to me and is a fine sort of guy, had a minor accident along about 1600. While taxing into position for his takeoff his plane hit a mudhole and nosed over on its propeller. The way the crash siren screamed out you would have thought he had nosedived from 1500'!
