Flight and Flying [Friday morning]

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

When the flight workshop arrived at the shed, they found it locked up tight and Anakin leaning up against it.

Wearing a beanie.

And a sullen expression, but that was kind of a given.

"For our last class," he said, "we're going to fly helicopters. The pilot's waiting for us over at Selkie Cove. Come grab a hat--and no, they're not optional--and then we'll head over together."

He even had one Faithful-sized. Anakin was thorough.

Bridge signs in, and happily dons the beanie. Dork.

Molly signed in and took a beanie, switching from the hat she wore to class with a grin.

Fly a helicopter!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin, much to the pilot's annoyance, immediately took over the instruction of how to fly the helicopter. After a quick but comprehensive overview of how the machine worked, the totally modable pilot was ready to take the students up on their own flights.

Zack was totally calm as he went up in the helicopter.

Really.

Anakin, safely on the ground, was chanting something a bit like "please don't crash" under his breath.

At least down here he could catch the students using the Force if it became absolutely necessary.

His eyes watched the sky. That wasn't an entirely comforting thought to him.

Jude was starting to cheer up as he took the helicopter up.

Totally not imagining Mike Dint in the rotorblades. Nope. Not Jude.

Whee, flying! As long as he didn't think about that one scene in Boardwarriors II, with the helicopter and the dude and the fiery explosion . . .

Bridge might be bouncing in his seat as he takes the helicopter up.

Alanna...well, suprisingly she has not such a bad time controlling the helicopter.

Dean was still distinctly unenthused about non-space flight but at least it wasn't an F-16 again. He was a little uncomfortable going up, but compared with everything else that had happened the last couple of weeks, it just didn't seem worth the energy to freak out.

Consequently, he didn't do half bad on his flight.

Molly's flight... was a little bit nerve wracking for the pilot. She probably flew a little bit higher and faster than he liked for a first time pilot. Oops.

Alec was not letting a night's stay in the clinic stop him from flying a heplicopter. So it was probably just as well it was just him and the pilot alongside.

Maybe he was taking advantage of this chance, and it being the last class, but there were some really sweet moves (http://www.bestofgooglevideo.com/video.php?video=443) you could pull in a helicopter. Loops, barrel rolls and a nice little maneuver that involved spinning at high speed with the nose on a nearly fixed point.

So the pilot probably hated him, but by the time Alec landed he felt much better than he had last night.

Z was not sure she was comfortable with this, but whatever. She probably wouldn't crash and die. Right?

Peter flew the helicopter. He didn't crash or die or anything, but it was clear that flying within a planet's atmosphere may not have been his strong suit as a pilot.

Chat amongst yourselves!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

While waiting for the helicopter to come back. Compliment each other on your fetching hats, etc.

Molly took off her beanie and played with the propeller to keep herself form fidgeting while she waited for her turn.

Talk to Anakin

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

*sniffle* Say goodbye, if you'd like.

You still have to wear the hats, though.

Re: Talk to Anakin

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude would like to say goodbye.

And apologise.

Because Mace Windu is one baaaaad mother -

"Dude? Er, sir . . ."

Re: Talk to Anakin

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"You leaving?" Alanna asked bluntly.

Re: Talk to Anakin

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Hey, dude," Bridge says after bouncing out of the helicopter cockpit, still wearing the beanie.

Re: Talk to Anakin

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"So you're leaving, huh?" Dean asked at the end of class.

Re: Talk to Anakin

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly walked up and hugged Anakin without saying anything at first.
