Flight club. 4 pm, Flight Shed

"Welcome back," Aeryn says once it looks like everyone's arrived. "Today we're going over something a little different. This is the Cessna 172 Skyhawk. It's a passenger plane from Earth, first put into production about fifty years ago, I think, and they're still commonly seen today. They can be controlled by one pilot, and hold up to three passengers. They are often privately-owned, and the fact that you can do that is the best thing I've heard about this planet."

Given a couple people in this club, Aeryn knows she probably should have gone with something space-based, but she really kind of hopes the thought of "you could be carrying three other people" will be enough incentive not to crash and die.

"Mmmmmmno." Evie hiccuped again, and then said. "Yes?" The wings wobbled a bit. She took a deep breath. "Bad idea. I think I'm about to--" Evie looked around wildly for an in-flight vomit bag. "Ugh!"

Evie managed to restrain her yakking to a mouthful of bile and spit, then swallowed and says, "I'm... okay. Really I am." She coughed, then took control of the plane again.

Annnnnd misjudged the flight pattern. Again.

*CRASHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH*

"...drat. I thought I was getting better at that..."

"Again." Evie sighed. "Do you mind if I don't try again this week? I'd really really like to figure out what I did wrong, but I'm feeling rather... odd."
