Learjet school - end day 3

Click-click-click.
Any jet pilot can identify with those sounds. They are the sweet tune of the thrust levers pushing past all reservation and asking maximum takeoff power from the engines. It happens as the prelude to that next sound of the engines changing pitch from a humming whine to a robust whoosh. It's incomparable. It's exhilarating.
I got to experience that sensation for the first time this afternoon, though in the Lear 75 simulator. There was no hiding my jubilation as I grinned the whole way from takeoff to landing. There's nothing like taking to the sky with seemingly unbridled power and having to reign in that energy in a big way just to keep the plane under 200 knots in the traffic pattern.
Yeah today was an excellent day.
I loved classes with our systems instructor Mr Beller and learned a ton about the electrical and APU from him.
I'm still helplessly behind in reading assignments, but I'm finding that the instructor provides insight that seemingly endless pages of the Training Program do not.
Really thankful to God for the privilege of being part of this new paradigm for this season.
