Flight Club [Flight Shed]

Gavin may have gone overboard with the snacks and drinks today but he still felt bad (especially towards one person) about this weekend so he thought overloading on snacks might make people forget about this weekend. It worked out in his mind and all.

"Hey guys," he said, nodding. "Glad to see everyone's back to normal after this weekend. We're all probably used to the weird stuff happening but that doesn't make it any less weird. Anyway, glad to see you all back. Today, we're gonna take you back to where planes began. Mostly for this planet since we're here and the sim's got them programmed but I'll try and throw something up from other places, if I can. They may not be the fastest or the best looking but these are how things started way back when. It took trial and error to get the right design and, even now, people are still tinkering with designs to make them faster, better, and stronger. Today, we're going back and we're gonna fly the pokey aircraft just to get a feel of how far things have come."

He opened the sim's door and waited for each person to take a turn.

Anemone presented her stack with a flourish. "Blueprints and techno-jumble for the type R606," she announced. "Plus basic information regarding the energy that powers them. Enough that the flight sim should be able to fake it, anyway."

"Oh, wow, this is...wow." He nodded, clearly impressed and almost overwhelmed. "This beats our level of technology by a few hundred years, I think, unless the scientists are working on some experimental stuff. How hard are they to fly?"

"The Mon-Soono would be easier, but it's nowhere near as fun," Anemone admitted. "A moron could fly that thing."

"The 606 is a good girl; she has high maneuverability, so anyone who likes to jerk the stick too much will find themselves spinning in circles, but otherwise she's easy as pie!"

"And fun's really what we wanna have here," Gavin said, already getting excited at the prospect of something new. "Any special things they can do? Like how some of the Earth jets have vertical takeoff and all."
