Flight Club (After Comparative Religions, Before JA)

Anakin stands in front of a door to a new shed located just outside of the gym. Inside is a gleamingly new flight simulator, currently programmed for a series of simulations for a Jedi Starfighter.

He turned and addressed the crowd.

"Okay. We have about twenty people signed up for the Flight Club right now, which is great. I've decided that in order to give everyone a chance for some hands-on experience, we'll have both a flight sim and a practical demonstration available every week." He gestured into the shed. "My old teacher has sent us a flight simulator. It's capable of almost unlimited variations in programming. Currently I've set it for the ship I'm most familiar with, the Jedi Starfighter, but if you can get a flight sim of the craft from your home world or dimension, we can upload it as well and learn to fly your ships." He grinned. "I'd rather us crash and burn in the sim than in the real thing. Less paperwork."

He smiled at Harry, Kiki, and Draco. "Today's practical demonstration will be with broomsticks. Draco, Harry, and Kiki have graciously agreed to show us all how to fly on these."

Anakin held up his hand. "One more thing. If you can all sign the sheet and mention your flight experience, especially if you're licensed on your world for your craft of choice, it'll go a long way towards making the insurance people who cover the school happier.

"That's it. Have fun. Don't break my sim. Or yourselves."

[OOC: Feel free to slowplay this--Anakin'll answer all flight sim requests and our three broom instructors are in three different time zones.]

Ivanova bustles in, looking harried and clutching a too-large pile of books, looking harried. She signs in, noting, "Experience piloting light attack craft (Starfuries and Thunderbolts), shuttles, and midrange cruisers. Certified on light attack craft by the Earth Alliance military high command."

"Sorry, I can't stay, too much work." She looks longing towards Draco the brooms. "Wish I could, though." And with that, she bustles right back out.

Han decided to give this a try. Jedi starfighters were pretty much like any other snub, but he'd only helped hijack flown a couple.

He scooted himself into the easy chair, and checked the instruments. Standard.

"I'll give her a spin, if you'll fire her up?"

"Straight flying for now. Maybe combat a little later when I've gotten a feel for her."

An idea crossed Han's mind. "Can you program this baby for a YT-1300? Because if everyone's got some simulator time, Chewie will sure fly easier when we take my lady up."

::signs in:: Chiana. Mostly just short trips in Peacekeeper Prowlers temporarily "borrowed" from friends and/or strangers or Leviathan transport pods. Self taught.

The sim is first rate, pulling real g-forces with all the little internal noises of a ship. Han takes it through some basic straight and level, a few banked turns, and just to show off, a triple barrel roll.

He steps out, a big happy grin on his face. "That's a top-notch one, Anakin. Feels like the real thing."

Draco is leaning against his Nimbus 2001, looking smug.

"The sim's great. You gotta try it." Han looks over the broom and the blond kid. "You can really fly this thing?"
