Flight & Flying [Tuesday, June 9, 4th period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was checking his chrono, then his comlink, as the students arrived. "Today we're flying capital ships," he said, flicking his hands toward the screen set up in the corner. "Specifically this or the first minute and a half anyway capital ship. It was called the Invisible Hand and when I was flying it, half of it had already broken up in the atmosphere, the rudder that steered the ship had been in that half, and the thrusters weren't firing enough to stop us. The equipment was also set up for a species other than human and I couldn't read the controls."

Anakin had landed anyway. He was just that good. There wasn't a pilot in a million that could replicate what he'd done.

"Since I was working under rather...strained...circumstances, we'll do something a little easier to live through," he said. "You'll have the entire ship, and the back half will be on fire. The controls will be set up for your species and you'll be able to read the controls."

Yes, he thought that was cutting them a break. Anakin was odd. "Begin!"

At least the controls were easier to understand than the ones on an Asgard mother ship. Or one of Thor's.

Didn't stop him from crashing. Repeatedly. Almost like he was doing it on purpose.

"Are you crashing on purpose?" Anakin demanded. "I'm not teaching you how to be a suicidal idiot."

Jon stopped crashing and actually tried to steer the thing. "Oh, I already know how to do that. Being a suicidal idiot is a lot harder than it looks."

"It's really not," Anakin snapped. "Any moron can die. Millions do it daily. Be a pilot, not a useless teenager. Pay attention."

"Yes, sir." It was still damn hard to fly the thing.
