We finished up celestial navigation yesterday in which course I received a final grade of 3.6. Nothing short of 4.0 itself is completely satisfactory in a study as important as navigation, but inasmuch as I feel that I understand everything pretty well, I have no complaint. In instruments, a course involving the use of a computer to solve problems in true altitude and true airspeed, I got a 3.7. There are several boys with better marks so don't assume that your eldest son is carrying off the honors. Tomorrow I get my twenty hour flight check which will include slips to 100' circles, small field procedures, wing overs, and the inevitable cut guns. Feel quite well prepared and don't anticipate any real difficulty. Ken had an ugly looking
