Flight Club, Monday, 4 pm in the flight shed

[can_be_more]

It's the first time Aeryn's opened the flight shed herself, and she tries not to think too much about that as she sets up and waits for the others to arrive.

When they do, she greets them with, "If you don't already know me, my name is Aeryn Sun, I'm former military, spent a good part of the last three cy- years piloting a fighter ship and was doing so as late as this February. You've all shown at least a little interest in flying and learning how to do it, so this would be the place for it. Now I'd like you all to introduce yourselves, tell me what experience you have, and if there's anything in particular you'd like to study here, I'll see what I can do to get it."

She gestures to the simulator and says, "You'll also be able to get into the simulator this time. It's called a Prowler, and this is what I'm used to flying. It's used for reconnaissance and battle, and you'll even be able to operate weapons systems. Luckily you can't really shoot anything, no matter what your experience. If you need me for anything, I'm around."

[OCD is up. Play away!]

Name, rank and regiment. Only not really. Just name and what you've done already. Collapsey fashion please.

Luke was there precisely on time after finishing his lesson with Isabel. He was practically glowing with excitment.

"I'm Luke Skywalker," he said, "and I've been flying since I could walk, it seems like. I'm currently a starfighter pilot."

"I'm Peter Pevensie," Peter said. "I took Anakin's Flight workshop this summer, but that's all the experience I have. I'd just like to be able to fly better and more."

Evie smiled a little more confidently, seeing a few familiar faces. "Oh! Um, I'm Evie Carnahan. And I haven't even ridden in an aeroplane. But I'd really like to? I didn't sign up at the fair, but Luke said I could come along today."

Get in the simulator

[can_be_more]

The Prowler is pretty. Take a fake one out for a fake spin.

Luke strapped himself into the simulator and gave the instrument panel a quick study. "Weapons, navigation, comm, gravity control, right?" he asked, pointing to the correct systems.

Re: Get in the simulator

"Very good," Aeryn says. "Give you another fifty microts, I'm sure you could figure out the other controls, but i doubt you'll need them today."

Luke grinned at her, pleased. "Okay. How do I make this work, then?"

Evie very carefully approached it, biting her lower lip, eyes huge. "I can't break it? I mean. I might be-- a tad clumsy."

Re: Get in the simulator

[can_be_more]

"I've seen a lot of people in here and no one's broken it yet," Aeryn says. "...Just don't be the first."

Naomi rather nervously climbed into the prowler, even if it was just a simulator she didn't want to think about what could go wrong.

Re: Get in the simulator

"All right then," Aeryn says, "do the controls look at all familiar to you?"

Peter bit his lip as he strapped himself into the simulator. He was going over every single thing he'd learned in the workshop and trying to apply it to the different controls in front of him.

Re: Get in the simulator

"Feel comfortable yet?" Aeryn asks.

Alec slid into the sim and strapped himself in, looking over the instruments. He may have been kind of excited to try out something new.

Re: Get in the simulator

"You sound like you should have no trouble at all," Aeryn tells him. "Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the controls and you can begin whenever you're ready."

Broots strapped himself in and stared. "Can I use my usual method of 'hit the random buttons and see what happens?'"

Re: Get in the simulator

[can_be_more]

"No," Aeryn says immediately. She proceeds to point out the buttons used for startup. "Those are the only ones you're going to need to be touching at the moment."

General mingling

[can_be_more]

Get to know each other.

Evie's sitting on the floor off the side, quietly giggling to herself. But not standing up. Not just yet.

Peter sat down beside her. "Did you have fun?"

Talk to Aeryn

[can_be_more]

In case you need her for anything.

OOC

[can_be_more]

Because there's always an OOC thread. Can't mess with tradition.
