And She (Finally) Flies!

Cruising into the Dawn

Jeb _ She's somewhat sluggish, no? We are flying for half an hour and we can't climb above 4K Meters yet...

Val _ Yep... I had to set the vertical speed to 1.25 m/s for the last leg otherwise we would be crawling the skies like a slug...

Bob _ Since we had to shove a couple of SLBs in order to take off without blowing up the Runway, I'm not exactly surprised... 🙄

Bill _ Hey, calm down - I was tasked on making her fly without destroying the Runway, and such I did!

Val _ Ok, ok, point taken. But we still have a whole planet to travel while testing this fat lady before landing, so can I suggest some more joyful conversation? 🤪

Jeb _ Look on the bright side: The autopilot works perfectly and I had brought my whole collection of cartoons to watch in the 1st class' big screen. Who want to marathon Cupcake Landers with me?

Bob _ Hummm... Talking about landing... Bill, did you calculated if the Runway will take the hit when we land her?

Bill _ Uh...

Jeb _ Oh, oh...

Val _ (sigh) Okey, let's see if we have fuel to divert to Dessert Airfield, just in case. Bill, feel free to start doing some calculations...

Bob _ I'm going to watch something, I want to finish some series before poofing... Let me know if we are going to make it or not, please?
