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.

Luke smiled and put the plane into a steep bank. "Most of my experience has been in gravity and my imagination," he admitted. "I just like the other one more."

"I'm not a fan of atmosphere flying," she says. "And yet I'm not fearing for my life right now."

Luke snorted. "That's because I realize that the ground is a bad thing to hit."
