Hello Classmates: Amanda, Annie, Merryn, Eric, Étienne, Imad, Jean, Louis, Patrice, Paul, & Raymond,
I have almost got the AirLaw page finished.
Next Tuesday (December 1) Tarek will present Theory of Flight. The next week (December 8), I will try to finish Flight Instruments.
Then the class will break for the holidays.
See you Dec 8!
Chris

OK, it’s Chris again. By now you all probably have bookmarked the CARS index page, but here is is again. Et c’est ici en français.
