OOC: well, it's still an airplane, and Damarius isn't exactly a skilled pilot....

IC: Damarius, who had flown in the back seat with Langley on several occasions, had gleaned a basic idea of how to fly a plane by now. Since he was often in the back of an F-65, which resembled an F-14, he selected an F-14 Tomcat as his aircraft. As he taxies it towards the runway, he runs over the basics of flying to himself:

"Okay, I got this. Pull stick back, plane goes up, push stick forward plane goes down, move stick sideways, plane rolls over, and those pedals make the plane turn. Okay, and if there's a flashing red light, I'm screwed!"

Damarius then advances the throttles forward, and begins rolling down the runway. As it gathers speed, Damarius pulls back too early, and the plane wobbles in to the air on the verge of stalling, but eventually gets more airspeed and heads towards Tahiti....
