Flight Club [Flight Shed, 2pm]

Gavin was down by the flight shed again, waiting for the rest of the club members to arrive before starting in on anything. Once they had, he gave them all some time to settle down, eat some ~~moddable~~ cookies before getting started.

"So, hey guys," he said, smiling. "Thanks for coming today. Today's lesson...is something I thought would be different but fun but challenging. The things we're going to be flying today are...sort of out of the ordinary. You'll see when you get in there and have to make a choice of what to fly. I think it'll be fun."

He winced briefly.

"I hope it's fun. Let's get going."

He opened the door to the shed and gestured the first person inside.

Like you're as high as a kite!

For the chatter that comes before getting into the sim!

When you enter the flight sim, you have the choice of flying a:

blimp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blimp)
hang glider (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_gliding)
hot air balloon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_air_balloon)

Choose wisely! Have fun!

He's there and available.

After he pings in!

The Rent soundtrack is running through my head!

Ben

Ben stared at the options for flight today for a long, long time, then wandered over to Gavin. "Where are the weapons?" he asked, pointing at the hang glider.

Anakin was there, keeping a watchful eye out over the students.

"There aren't any," Gavin said and laughed. "These are different kinds of flying things."

"The boring kind of flying things," Ben decided. "They look slow, too."

Ben was in a fantastic mood.

"They're different," Gavin argued. "Gives you more experience with a wider range of things."

"Have you flown 'em?" Ben asked. "They look slower than Y-Wings, and I didn't that that was possible."

"I've flown them in the sim," Gavin said. "They're not really readily available here. They are slow. They're not meant to be battle ships."

"So they're, like, commuter ships?" Ben asked. "You'd take the hang glider to work?"

"The hang glider's more of a recreational type thing," Gavin explained. "It's for fun."

Fun was something that hadn't occurred to Ben. "Huh. Really?"

"Yeah. It's kind of exhilarating," he explained. "Adrenaline rush."

"Because you have to throw yourself off of something high?" Ben said. "Because I'm not seeing anything too exciting about the balloon thing."

"The balloon thing's more relaxing," he said. "It's really good for sightseeing. Imagine riding over places like Coruscant or Endor on a balloon like that."

"But not Tatooine," Ben decided. "There'd be nothing to look at."

"Hey, there's sand!" Gavin argued. "So, yeah, really nothing at all. People on this planet sail around the world in those balloons, believe it or not."

"...how do they go to the bathroom?" Ben asked.

"They make stops," he said and laughed. "It's not a nonstop trip."

"Oh, good," Ben said, looking relieved. "I had a mental image that was not kind to the people on the ground."
