plane spotting in DFW

Went to see Justin off for Boston the other day, I was thinking of going to Grapeville Mall for a while, but then I got lost.... and accidently found the observation deck for DFW. Might as well sit and watch for a bit.



Accident of Delta flight 191 crashed just short of the runway during August, 2,1985. Due to microburst. 

Here's what happened .....
Aviation regulation is written with blood, meaning every law or regulation is added because someone crashed or died. Sometimes you have only 1 chance, so pilots, be smart, everyone is counting on you to make the right decision.

ALMOST TIME TO GO HOME

At this point I have 230 Hr of flight time including 17 hr of multi-engine. which means I'm not that far from going home. I should be in Taiwan within 3 weeks. that's good !! after all this training, what awaits me is more complex and extensive training in the airlines, all these up to this point is small potatos.. am I ready ? no, am I scared ? hell no !
I've booked my ticket back home for the 4th of Nov, and land in Taiwan on 6th. I will have my second toeic test on the 28th. at the same time, I will take the written test required by Taiwanese Airlines. 
PS : multi engine training is 燒錢!!!!!!!!
