Just popped down to refuel and it's quickly back to the piloting lessons. Meanwhile, the navigator wants to know what bollocks are.
A flying instructor has many responsibilities.

🦕 #111: Bones in the Rock
Today's Foreign Five goes digging for Bones in the Rock: a Patagonian giant, the fossil that linked dinosaurs to birds, the strongest bite on land, and the impact that ended it all.
Five questions, five languages, no sign-up. How many can you get?

A fossilized Iguanodon shinbone with an unusual growth may be the first evidence of a serious bacterial skin infection in a dinosaur.
The head of a whale, believed to date back to the Bronze Age, has been discovered buried on a beach in Islandmagee.
A swollen patch on an Iguanodon shinbone may be the first evidence of an infected skin ulcer reaching the bone in a dinosaur.

"If humans are so numerous, how come we don't see them?"
These and other vital questions are answered in this adventure. (Oh, and we start to learn what 'snowing' is).

A 550-million-year-old fossil from China may be the earliest evidence of animals partnering with microbes, suggesting symbiosis helped early life survive in hostile environments.
Paleontologists studying a fossil unearthed in southern Manitoba, Canada, have identified what they believe are two bite marks on the internal skeleton of the ancient giant cephalopod Enchoteuthis.

Fossils are selling for tens of millions of dollars at auction. But why are the ancient creatures the hot new thing for the ultrarich?
When training as a pilot, remember- landing is not as difficult as flying at a steady altitude- Planes have a natural tendency to go downwards!
We learn such truths daily in these adventures.
