Blackbird

[xp_cyclops]

 So, I'm going to be doing a spring cleaning of the blackbird this weeking, a little tune-up before thanksgiving and it got me wondering, well one if anyone wanted to help. But, mainly, did anyone want to get certified, or recertified on the blackbird? Once I've got her nicely tuned up, might be a good chance to take out hte local jet.

Are you... offering to teach us to be pilots?

[xp_forge]

I'm itching to get my hands on the Blackbird. Might be able to make some improvements for you, if you're amenable.

[xp_cyclops]

Why don't you work up a proposal and we can go through it, see what you've got in mind.

[xp_cyclops]

Absolutely! You'll need to get an actual pilot's license, but I'm happy to teach you to get that and then get you Blackbird qualified too.

[xp_velocidad]

How much time is this going to take, hypothetically? Like... how many lessons at normal-person-speed?

[xp_mayhem]

I wouldn't mind helping, it's been a while since I've been able to get my hands dirty. I'll need some minor direction, but any parts that are similar to cars and motorcycles I shouldn't have any trouble with.

Wouldn't mind getting certified on her either, since that's an option.

[xp_cyclops]

The basics are similar enough, I can walk you through the rest of the upkeep.

And, I'd be happy to help you get your pilot license too if you're interested in learning to fly.

[xp_mayhem]

Awesome, I've really missed being able to work on cars or my motorcycle, and I didn't want to step on any toes by mucking around in the garage without permission.

I'd would really appreciate the help. Learning to fly sounds really interesting and useful.

[xp_cyclops]

If you want to work on cars or a motorbike, I can always use help working on my vehicles in garage. Offer's always open if you want to spend an afternoon.

Let me know when you're free and we can set it up.

[xp_mayhem]

All of that sounds wonderful. I'm free almost anytime right now, mostly doing some job hunting and tinkering on projects down in the labs.

[xp_velocidad]

Oh, I've got a car that could probably use some attention...

[xp_mayhem]

Guess we know where to start, then. Which one's yours?

[xp_dust]

Oh help, is that time of the year again? I think I still need to get re-qualify in the emergency basics...

[xp_cyclops]

How time flies when you're trying to avoid it.

[xp_wildchild]

Can we PLEASE restock the MRE's, Scott? PLEASE? Someone ate all the good ones and now it's just the bean burritos and the spaghetti ones.

[xp_bevatron]

I apologize for nothing.

[xp_cyclops]

Sure, but we'll have to take care of the current MREs.

I think someone should be forced to eat them. Seems only fair right?

[xp_echo]

Why are you even eating those?

[xp_echo]

I don’t think they let deaf people pilot large aircraft.
