Key Takeaways:

  • An aerobatics instructor shared a text from a musically inclined student expressing deep frustration with their flight training.
  • The student faced numerous booking cancellations for aerobatics lessons due to common issues like weather, maintenance, and scheduling.
  • This exasperation led the student to humorously describe writing an "Aerobatic Blues" song, involving "sobbing into a microphone over a bunch of off-tempo minor chords."

For AVweb fans who are also students of music theory, from reader Mike Toews:

I teach aerobatics part-time at a local flight school and received the following text from a musically inclined student who was getting frustrated with numerous booking cancellations due to weather, maintenance, scheduling issues, etc., etc.

“I’m writing a song called ‘Aerobatic Blues.’
“It’s just me sobbing into a microphone for three minutes over a bunch of off-tempo minor chords.”
