Flight Club [Flight Shed]
The fact that they had power made this week's club meeting a lot more enjoyable than last week's. The fact that it wasn't spitting down enough snow to make Hoth jealous just made the meeting that much better.
Gavin was still bundled up but he was grinning as everyone filed in and helped themselves to themoddable snacks and drinks he'd picked up.
"Hey guys," he said once everyone had arrived. "We have power back which means we can get in some sim time today. Sorry about last week but there wasn't anything I could do short of powering the sim using a bicycle and my own energy and that wouldn't have lasted long in the cold."
Though, if he'd gotten desperate, Gavin might have tried it.
"Anyway, today we're gonna get right to it. We're gonna start off with the fighter aircraft and bombers an of this world since that's the world we're all living on right now. Of course, as most of us probably now, these planes fly in atmosphere so it's a little different for some of us that are used to flying in space. This planet hasn't made it there yet. But, I'm sure they're trying. I've set the sim up with both fighters and bombers so hop in and take a turn. There are going to be non aggressive targets so practice both using the bombs that the bombers come equipped with and the guns that the fighters are equipped with. The targets are going to be buildings that are going to be marked with red splashes of paints."
Gavin opened the sim's door and said, "Go to it."
