Moving up
Tobin finished his instruments phase simulator flights today! Tomorrow we expect him to be scheduled for a real flight; I believe he has 15 flights to complete before the instruments phase is over. From what I have been hearing, the program is pretty intense, and he will be double turning frequently. Double turning means having two flights in one day. Also, he may have a cross country or two as well, which will count for several flights; the cross country flights are generally on weekends as they go overnight.
We really appreciate your prayers and encouragement. This is definitely an intense and high stress training program, and Tobin spends about 12 hours every day either studying or flying…if not more. He handles it really well, but he can really use all the support you can give him. We miss you all, hope to see you soon.
Go Tobin! We are praying for you and proud of you.

We ARE praying for you both, especially on Wednesdays (then you get prayed for three times). Congratulations on passing all the tests. You are amazing! Your a great carpenter too – we enjoyed the videos and pictures of your doggie door, etc.

Zachary says: “Tobin should get “Microsoft Flight Simulator X” and if your computer will run it, get deluxe version or the gold version. You are doing great, Tobin.”
Elyse says: “Don’t listen to him, Tobin, it doesn’t help. You have to have a really good computer to play the game (ours doesn’t have enough ram).”
Mom says: “I meant you are prayed for on Tuesdays (Zachary corrected me). Plus other days too.”
