Still no flying, but here's an update:

There's 14 students left in the senior class. 10 of them are having their last flights waived and will be leaving tomorrow. The other 4 will roll back to my class to do their last few flights.

They (DOSS) have 7 aircraft that have never had any problems. They're going to take those 7 aircraft and give them each 8-10 FCFs (Functional Checkflights). Assuming they all run good, they'll use them to start flying us again on Monday. This is still too few aircraft to get us out of here on time, so graduation will probably be pushed a week. They also took away our solo flights. They said we'll go up and "fly the solo flight, but you'll have an IP in the left seat." Wow. That's the military for you...

So they're using up our time in the mornings with briefings, and want to start using the afternoons for flag-football or paintball. Fine with me!

Later!

    Sounds so similar to the beginning of the short-lived T-3 Firefly program that I participated in (although, I am sure the DA-20 will not suffer the same demise).

    Luckily I did get to solo before they moved to the "simulated solo". I bet Doss Aviation is having flashbacks as well -- they were the contracted company for the T-3 program at Hondo.

    Yup, they've talked about that quite a bit! Doss is doing everything they can to salvage this. They've even talked about getting us new (and different) aircraft! They're really worried about having a repeat of the T-3 incidents, so they're being super-cautious. This is all be handled at the 2-3 star level from what we've been told.
