Dear Folks: 4-22 Passed my 20 hr check yesterday in a fairly satisfactory manner. Today I started on acrobatics. My instructor helped me for an hour with loops, snap, rolls, immelmanns, split "S"s, falling leafs, etc. then told me to go up and practice them. This should give you an idea of how rapidly you must pick things up - especially those of us who, heretofore, didn't know an immelmann from a bicycle. But I actually went up that next hour & executed everyone of them after a fashion without spinning out. great fun - sure would like to have Gus & Geo. along. Yours, Nile
