Salaam!

It seems that our Fearless Leader has decided that it's time for another exciting round of Learn To Fly The Jet! I'll be teaching the course this time around, as Fearless Leader has decided that he needs to keep a very close eye on Horatio The Roomba-Loving Turtle. So any of you who would like to learn how to fly the jet (trainees, I am looking at _all_ of you) or would simply like a refresher course please let me know by end-of-week.

The more people who can take her up and put her back down again that we have, the more operational flexibility we have in case of injury, vacation, downtime, precognitive chocolate fits, swimming pool inhalation, or brain-sprains.

Sign me up. Obviously, I've done most of my flying in helicopters - I think I'm functionally qualified on about a dozen different models - but I have done a limited amount of work with jets, too. I've even flown a standard Blackbird a couple of times. And yes, Haroun, I know that the standard model bears very little resemblance to our souped-up Bettie.

Done deal!

I think we'll start you in on the advanced familiarization courses, as you already know what flight _is_ and what all the parts are and all that jazz.

We'll get you up to speed in a few months.

Salaam,
Haroun

Sounds good. And hey, even if I turn out to suck at it, I can still pick up the 'Bird and put it down, if called upon to do so.
