Test Flight
Tim stood by the SHIELD jet waiting for Brad to arrive. They were scheduled to test fly a new experimental plane, but first they had to get to the test sight. Tim leaned against the plane and checked his email. Despite being out of the lab for only five minutes, he was still working.

	"I know, but you can do the fun stuff in later test flights," Tim said. "We don't want to break it on her first flight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well it's something to look forward to at least," Brad says, "I guess you're right best not to break it. Lots of money there." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah plus I get a bonus if I go for ten missions without a crash," Brad says. He could definitely use that money even though they where allowed one crash per mission. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Should I be worried that they give you guys bonuses for not crashing?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_flyboy_ 2013-01-13 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"No I've gotten that bonus a bunch of times already so nothing to worry about there," Brad says. At least the Shield Pilots had a better record than the Avengers Quinjet by a lot. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course," Tim said as Brad brought the plane in for a landing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Brad talked things through with the flight comptroller before taking the plane around for a landing without might issue. "Please wait till the fasten seat belt sign turns off before moving around the cabin," Brad says joking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wait, where's the in flight meal and the hot flight attendant to serve it?" he asked continuing the joke. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It wasn't bad, just not a huge fan of flying. Now I can go play with the cool toys on the ground and you can play with one in the air." Tim unfastened his safety belts. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
