Episode 1193 - Lacerta 4th, trip 2: Advisor, Dada, Mama, Vanna, 04 ``Mama: Welcome [Hugs] ``Dada: Welcome. ``Vanna: Greetings to you both and it is nice to be back so soon. ``Mama: You are our only visitor who we have had on a reoccurring basis. ``Vanna: I trust it will continue. ``Dada: I have made arrangements for Blue Mountain, so just fly in. ``Mama: Can we come? ``Vanna: I would love to take you, and it will be an honour. ``Dada: We will leave at 7th time on the next qef. `Dada: Nothing else planned? ``Vanna: I would outstay my welcome and it is important to spend the time on the Saucers. ``Dada: It has taken the builders a long time to achieve Cosmo3. ``Mama: Any way dinner is ready, and we have the meditation service this evening. ``Vanna: Excellent. {Lacerta Space Dock ~ 2} ``Advisor: Morning Vanna. ``Vanna: Morning Advisor. ``Advisor: I am intrigued by what you have requested for Cosmo1, and why we have not thought of the Air Door, I just do not know, as it is an essential item. However Cosmo 2 and 3 are being done as well. ``Vanna: It reminded me of the external fuel line, so we can refuel in space. ``Advisor: That too has been implemented. ``Vanna: Wonderful. ``Advisor: Okay we will go out towards Deneb, and we will start at Mach 900. There are many changes in the layout so just ask for quick answers. The engines are slightly bigger, but they still fit into the main shell, but I want you to tell me what you think. ``Vanna: Certus. ``Advisor: Okay it is all yours and I will navigate. ``Vanna: Powering up 1, 2 3, and I am waiting for ambers. ``Advisor: Do you normally do that? ``Vanna: Always, and it is a far safer option, especially as number 3 is balanced with 1 and 2, but it never actually makes any sense. ``Advisor: I will look into it. ``Vanna: Unlocking orbit. Drifting out of thrusters. She controls better. Mach 4 to outer marker. The sound so far is softer. ``Advisor: Okay you are clear to go. ``Vanna: Mach 800 and zoom. Sometimes we get a very slight shiver as she powers up, but this is much more stable. 'It fly's like a fish and moves like a cow'. ``Advisor: Explain later quin. ``Vanna: We ought to do a barrel roll and a loop? ``Advisor: Okay. ``Vanna: Down we go, increasing to mach 1,000 and up and over the top and back down again and levelling out. ``Advisor: I have never done that before. ``Vanna: Excellent, and that will clear your SAA Airworthiness Certificate, as I can sign it as P1. ``Advisor tell me more later. ``Vanna: increase to mille-mach? ``Official Zaa. ``Vanna: She is much more stable, unless our engine mounts need replacing. ``Advisor: Good point and they will be done. Okay: I am returning home. ``Vanna: 20º turn rate. ``Advisor: My engineer will do none of this. ``Vanna: He is a fantastic engineer, so we will let him off the hook. Any faster? ``Advisor: Zaa. ``Vanna: Mach 1100. I think I felt a bit of differing. ``Advisor: Okay. Mille-Mach. ``Vanna: Let us trying the drag? Mach Zero which will take 16 unites so we can, time it. ``Advisor: Any Suggestions? ``Vanna: We should land her. ``Advisor: Okay I am requesting clearance to land. --- Approved. Setting co-ordinates. ``Vanna: Power at 55% on 3rd engine. Landing camera on; air brakes active; thrusters available and undercarriage down and three reds. Down thrusters on. She comes down more smoother, and holding off and down. Are we staying or going? ``Advisor: We will go. ``Vanna: Normal power on main engines, increasing to 55% and back up to orbit height. ``Advisor: Tracking position. ``Vanna: Locking orbit. Powering down. Okay, let us hop to the ground. ``Advisor: Let us go to the Munch Bar. Have what you like. Instant beans and your Lucanica bap quin. --- Zarfs. ``Advisor: That was a terrific test flight. ``Vanna: I can officially sign your certification off, as I do have P1 status and a gold card, thanks to Gaffer. ``Advisor: Wonderful news. ``Advisor, we can go up in Cosmo2, for velocity checks. < Previous Page 1192 Algol <14.3.3> Warm [03 ] 1086 <1082> 03/161] Next Page 1194> |
