Update: Airforce

As posted before, I have applied to join our airforce. Before they let you start the training, the run you through multiple selection rounds. Right now I made it to the last two. They run sort of independant of eachother. This march 6th I will have to go to the Central Military Hospital to get some (X-ray)scans of my skeleton, brains and heart. I will also get an invitation soon to fly a few flights in a real plane. It will be sort of like the flight simulator which I had to do earlier, except that in the flight simulator you'd fly solely on instruments, and in the plane you will fly without instruments.
This will be done during 1 week in Portugal. I am looking forward to go there, and make my first hours in the pilotseat. And to see some nice parts of the town Evora offcourse...

The plane I will be flying is a Slingsby Firefly T67-M200. Looks like quite a nimble plane!
