Flight Club, Monday, 4 pm in the flight shed

Aeryn's been in the flight shed for a while today, and she looks a little more cheerfu when everyone arrives, just for today's material. Well, cheerful for Aeryn. Which means she doesn't look like she's ready to kill you.

"We're going back to something some of us have done before," she tells them. "Today we're working on the Jedi starfighter. Normally built for use with an astromech droid that helps you fly, today the instructor will play that part. They're no longer in use, but as someone who's tried one, that really is unfortunate. I'd like you just to try it out, take it for a run, and those of you who have flown one before, feel free to show the new people how it's done. I'm sure no one will have problems showing off."

OCD is up, go play.]

"A direct hit and they melt like cheap toys," Luke said with a nod. "Except for Vader's, from what I've heard. He's upgraded his toy." His mouth pressed together into a thin line. "Or else he's just so good no one's ever gotten a decent shot off. And I refuse to believe that."

"I doubt it's possible," she agrees, shaking her head. "Even the best take hits sometimes. They may be better equipped to compensate for it, but they can't avoid it all the time."

"Exactly," Luke said, taking out a target with the lasers with a grim smile. "I can see why my father liked this ship," he said, finally addressing the issue he'd been avoiding the entire run.

"For some reason I thought it suited him," she admits. At the very least, she's always going to link him with this ship.

Luke took it through a few more spins and loops. "It handles really well, but I'm more of an X-Wing person, I think," he finally decided.

"Completely understandable," Aeryn says. "And admittedly a bit reassuring given they're what you actually fly."

Luke laughed and brought the simulator back down for a landing. "Good point."

"And this will still be around if the get the urge to use it," she promises.

Luke gave her a grateful smile. "I'll use it again, then."
