Day 5 (3/23)

5000 Nautical miles is equal to 5750 statitute miles.
What I like about this class is that even though we are learning lots of stuff we are still having a lot of fun while doing it. I find that learning things in ways that are more fun makes the concepts sink in more deeply and easily than if you are learning it boringly. I learned a lot about the aerodynamic structure of a wing in the class so far, I learned about the Bernoulli effect, the Newtonian theory, and the Circulation effect and how they all help (or explain how) the plane can fly. I also learned some simple navigational concepts, such as, latitude and longitude, datum, along with some SAR tactics. I don't want to change anything, because everything is great and I am having a load of fun.
