Darlings,
Today is Sunday-flying as usual. We will probably fly tonight too. A kid across the hall taxied into a parked ship yesterday. The captain was furious. He said there was no excuse for such a thing. The kid goes up for a check tomorrow because of it. I’ll bet a dollar the poor guy gets washed now. We have to be so darn careful here. Things happen so fast.
I passed my instrument check yesterday. Now I can go up with another cadet as my observer while I fly instruments or I can change around and be observer while he flies instruments. The observer has complete charge and responsibility for the airplane.
Gosh! Flying is really getting interesting now. Formations-night flying and a cross country tomorrow. If you don’t get any letters for weeks you will know your son got lost in the cross-country. Ha! Ha!
Pete is fine-both of us of passed our check so far anyway. When dad talks about mom’s meatloaf and pasties my mouth waters. Gosh! I certainly miss our home. We had lots of arguments but, we certainly had fun didn’t we.
Well, darlings we will be called for dinner in a few minutes so I must end my letter. I also have to plot my own course for that cross-country.
Your loving son,
Jim
