Flight & Flying [Tuesday, May 26, 4th period]

The flight shed, when the students entered, would be eating food-off-the-floor levels of spotless and still smell faintly of bleach.

And Anakin would be a barely contained bundle of rage. "Today," he spat, flinging his hand toward the simulator, "we work with the F-16 Flying Falcon, one of the aircraft used by the militaries of this world. It's adequate in air-to-air combat as well as air-to-surface attack, can go more than 850 kilometers before it needs to be refueled and can withstand up to nine G's--pretty high tech for this world's standards."

He opened the simulator door--carefully, despite his obvious rage--and gestured to the controls. "As you can see, it's configured differently than the systems we've been using in the last few weeks, but the joystick and the trigger button are fairly self-explanatory. You'll also be dealing with the Earth's gravity, so if you make the plane go up too quickly, the machine's been equipped to simulate G forces, so you'll pass out or throw up. If you throw up, you and Sheppard will be cleaning that up," he growled.

He clapped his hands together. "Begin! Sheppard, get in the Force-bedamned sim."

Jack had very little idea of what he was doing, but he was generally a quick study. He pulled on the helmet then traced his fingertips over the contours of the controls.

"What should I do first?"

"I hope so, sir," Jack confirmed. He slowly followed the instructions, making sure he was doing everything exactly as explained, and felt the sim seemingly lurch into the air.
