The Sports bar, Wednesday Afternoon (Marilania)
Marilania Noticed Joel as he sat by the bar, she had heard the shout but was lost in thoughts working out her jobs to do in the morning, the DC7 needed a engine 3 overhauling and already got a text telling her it would be in the hanger for a day or two while mechanics had to replace several parts before the old bird would fly again. Workhorses, but damn where they particular, it was not always easy to find crews who could repair, or spares for Deadalus's veteran aircraft. still they could land on rougher runways than the modern ones, and a C130 cost awful lot more.
noticing, sipping a suprisingly normal coffee for once, Tommeys bar had a smaller range as expected, but the food smelt good and for a sports bar seemed welcoming to the less sports inclined. seeing Tommy join them too, seemed it was race day again. Noticing Joel in a hoody and shorts, was he a eskimo, it was still winter even if the sun had come out. of he had anything other than branded hoodies, it must by a mythical and legendary item.
Seems like your a regular, Though im afraid ground crew don't get call signs, need a pair of wings for that! Maybe Topper harly, not top gun.
Nice model, all you need now is the race trophy and you got a set Quietly drinking her coffee, not understanding the first comment but the model was nice, very accurate and someone had obviously spent a long time working on making sure it was perfect from decals, to tyres and little additions like tiny racing harness's. Seeing the photo, she was impressed, the aircraft and car where neck and neck crossing in a perfect X down the middle of the course. it was a great shot and one that you could not of planned better if you tried to stage it. someone should use that one in the promo posters for the teams race day media.
Looking round the bar a second it felt slightly alien, all the sports jerseys, team colors and sports memorabilia clashed with her gold wings glittering in the light, various patches including Achorage Airlines and several others beside alongside a UK flag on shoulder. Not too different from teams in a way with the partisan jokes and general attitude among the pilots at the bars near the main airport. Polishing abit of dirt off the gold wings, she had been given them when she first passed 9 years ago by her family, one of few things she would be genuinely upset to lose, the back was engraved with her name and passing dates hidden next to the lined and insulated heavy grade leather.
Never knew we passed that close. il sign it if you want, might be worth something one day!
oh, can i order a steak, extra coffee and the curry of the day for me, steak for old grumpy here.
I owe the ground hog a bet from race day, put the beer on my bill before he charges interest. Smiling, she decided to add the last bit in and throw it in, he had teased her, she could at least try to return the favour and give a little back. Humming along to the song on the radio, she had seen that movie too many times not to know it off by heart tapping a foot on the rail below the bar. Smiling as a second song came onto the radio, seemes the radio host liked Top Gun also.
A song she knew making her feel at least abit less of a stranger in the land of sports, American foot ball she had never undersood, same with several of the sports they loved, when invited to a game by one of the other pilots as a welcome, she had just copied and hoped it worked, luckily Sol City Angels had won despite being unsure what was going on below.
Least this place did food, and she'd not have to cook tonight. Vika would be home but she sometimes was not up to it after a busy day, she had the food order app, so her half sister would be fine, truth be told she could make the computer do things that made her spin. Hopefully her morning appointment at the sports centre had gone well.
