Had a practice fire drill today, one of the good ones when they don't tell you it's a drill until you're all out on the green waiting for the fire engine to show up.

When the Maintenence man said "April Fools" it kinda reminded me of a certain scene:

Is that "missing man formation"?

No, missing man is a finger-four formation with one missing. That's a run-in and break, approach the airfield in finger-four and then one at a time peel away to join the circuit and land.

Sorry, edit that last of mine.

Finger-four is the Jag formation, the Harriers are in Left Echelon.

it's time for some bitching...
What I hear every day is: students cheat, students don't care, students don't respect their university teachers, students come to universities only to get a degree.
This semester we had a lecture. Thursday evenings, last classes, the attendance was not checked (as lectures are voluntary). The grade was supposed to be based on one final test at the last lecture.
I didn't miss any. I took these f...notes. I wasted 1,5 hour every bloody week.
During the last lecture the guy said: I don't want to see anybody bothering my ass in June so everyone who will come and write his name will get 3. (the lowest passing grade).(scale is:2-3-4-5).
Just before the test the teacher said: I prepared 20 questions, 5 of them are very hard because I give a "3" to everyone who came here.
Obviously he totally messed up the whole f...scale.
Today we got the results. 40% was enough to get a 4 but 80% was needed for a 5.
You can imagine how did the grades divide. Smth like 10% got a 3, 80% got a 4 and 10% a 5.
A Gaussian function in practice...
Ofc I got 4....
