Believe or not, my second backup instructor also fell sick, and had to cancel too.
This was getting a bit unnerving as I had to have an instructor fly with me to check me out in that plane if I wanted to have any chance to fly that plane to Santa Monica the next morning for my week trip there.
Somehow, I did manage to find the last instructor available, and he did have a 2H slot right at the only time I could go with him.
We did a few patterns (3-4 I think), and he checked me out. Sweet!
