El Centro, CA (USA)

Since no one else from my squadron was expected to arrive in El Centro today, I ended up becoming the "guy in charge". My boss (back home) told me to get as many students going on their training as possible. Between me and the Venezuelan Exchange Pilot, we were able to fly four training missions (two flights each). When two more planes unexpectedly arrived in the afternoon, I took a division out for some four-plane work. The result of all this effort was that some students can solo tomorrow... Also got directed to create a night solo route in the Imperial Valley - I'll check that out soon. Had a few more stragglers show up in their Buckeyes after dark - it appears we might actually be able to get even more training going tomorrow. Up late again at Scribblers.  Spent the night at the Vacation Inn.
