Miracle loved the long hours of flying, even though it wasn't in the smooth vacuum of space, but in the more turbulent air of the planets atmosphere. She enjoyed the mobility it gave her to cover more ground. As she flew she remembered her youthful days when relying on skill and an internal combustion engine, fixed wing aircraft, instead of the more ultra modern crafts of the one she flew now. A sudden squeak/giggle erupted from her at remembering how she buzzed the herds of domesticated animals, causing them to scatter from their complacently of grazing and sleeping within the big groups.
Her Copilot gave her the eye brow raised look of curiosity at the sudden giggle from her. "Ok-ay-ay... What gotten you in a good mood?"
"Iz was remembering mez more youthful days of flying an IC fixed wing aircraft." Miracle looked over at her Copilot with merriment in her eyes.
The copilot looked at her in wonderment. "As in internal combustion engine?" Sounding a bit doubtful of the sanity of her.
"Squeee." Miracle nodded as she maneuvered the craft a bit higher to avoid the thunderhead that was building up ahead of them.
"Aren't they non-existent now? As they are only seen in museums, holovid movies and books?" Her copilot spoke with a bit amazement.
"Not all of us are from Sol 3." Miracle spoke softly with a smile. "And where Iz came from. There was a lot of them. Even helicopters."
"Iz see if I can't get one made. Wez will go flying." Miracle nodded sagely. She gave another laugh at seeing her copilot face filled with worry.
"If its all the same to you. I'll stick to these babies." He reached out and patted crafts console before him. He gave a shake of his head. "You gotta be insane."
Which sent Miracle into a fit of laughter. "Squee-squeee squeak squeee… wez are... squee-squeee squek! ..all a bit … squee squeak... insane... squee-squee…"
Co-pilot just shook his head and focused on the panel before him. He was curious though as he remember as a kid of great daring do of flying in one of them. "I may take you up on the offer. As long as we don't go to high..."
"Itz a date." Miracle dove the craft into the clouds, relying on instruments for a safe landing at the aerospace field. She murmured into the radio to alert the field tower of her incoming and landing.
