Flight & Flying, Friday
Before the class stood a man who had cut his extremely long dark hair back to something short and vaguely Atton-like before the weekend. He had even showered. He was wearing a leather flight jacket, and he looked vaguely annoyed with the world.
"Look, I don't know how you people did Flight and Flying-class before, and I don't really care," Atton said, glancing at Anakin. "And hi. My name is Atton Rand. I fly things, I'm a pilot. The next few weeks, we're gonna learn more about how to fly anything that can keep itself in the air for more than a minute."
He waved his hand at the flight sims. "Your job today is to be one of them," he said. "Your starship's crashing. Stop it from doing that. I'll figure out how good you are at starships from there."
Beat.
"Then you get to do it all over again in a plane."
The 'throwing the baby into the water to see what happens' school of training always worked on everybody, right?
