OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

IC story here.

I'm working off of Mission B3: Aggressive Negotiations. It's not much yet, but I figured I'd post a teaser of sorts.

Re: OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

It's a teaser in a couple of ways...

For one, it was short and left me hanging.

And secondly the title since it made me think 'When pigs fly....it rains bacon?' Mmmm bacon.

Hehe look forward to more.

Re: OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

I'm almost done with a part two, though I have to admit that I keep getting distracted by other things. Such as playing TOR. Or work.

So more is coming. Soon. Eventually posted in the appropriate Trial Run thread.

The exchange with Approach made me grin. So are you a pilot or a controller?

"How do you sleep at night?"
"On silk sheets, rolling naked in credits."

Re: OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

Neither, unfortunately. I'd love to get a pilot's license, but there's no way I could afford that as a hobby.

But a distant cousin of mine (I call him an uncle, but he's not really one) owns a small, private airport. As a kid, he took me up in one of his Cessnas before and let me talk to air traffic control. It was one of the coolest experiences.

Re: OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

Gotcha. My dad's a controller, so I'm no expert myself, but I recognized enough in the details to know you had a real idea of how the language works... call-signs in every transmission, R/L on the hangar designators, etc.

Nixie approves. ;D

Re: OOC: When Pigs Fly Commentary

Yeah, that's probably 1/3rd from that first-hand experience, 1/3rd from flight simulator games, and 1/3rd from various movies or books that also did it right. But I'm excited that the procedures and jargon sounded realistic enough to be recognizable.

Thanks for the stamp of approval!
