Flight & Flying [Friday, June 22, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was waiting for the students on the top of the apartment building in town, leaning up against a Lambda-class Imperial shuttle.

"Welcome to the Virgo," he said with a small smile before giving them a quick rundown of the general specifications of the ship. "It's twenty meters long and is generally used to ferry soldiers or cargo back home," he said. "It's also equipped with a hyperdrive--which we will not be using--as well as two forward-facing double laser cannons, two wing-mounted double cannons, and a rear-facing double laser cannon." He met each student's eyes. "Which we will definitely not be using. We're going to do a quick swing around the system here--we won't go out as far as Pluto, but since it's not a planet any longer, I doubt it will be that offended."

He waved a hand towards the ramp. "Come aboard."

Since it was his first time really flying in space and he was rather impressed with the whole thing, John sat back and enjoyed watching others take the shuttle through the asteroid belt. He took his turn flying in empty space.

Anakin smiled at him. "Ready to try the real thing?" he asked.

John grinned and slid into the copilot seat, "Yes, sir!"

Anakin removed his hands from his steering column. "She's all yours."
