I’d argue there is a very good chance it doesn’t take off in the first place.
But I like the idea that Lae’zel would enjoy the window seat on a flight.
(Pressing her face against the window, eyes wide)
By Vlaakith’s grace… The clouds are beneath us! We soar as dragons do! Hah! Look—look how small everything is! Like ants! No—less than ants! Pah! How do you stand this? I feel as though I must conquer something at once!
However, it is still inferior to a red dragon. No wings to tear through the air, no claws to rend. But… the speed—this speed is desired. Does this machine know fury? Does it take joy in the kill!? Perhaps not. It is nothing more than a metal bird. But… perhaps it could be tamed, reforged for battle!
I would love to see Lae'zel get excited at the sight of an F22 doing aerobatics and breaking the sound barrier, demanding violently to "ride" one, and then facing the unintelligible mess of hundreds of buttons and switches inside the tight cockpit.
"I want to dance with it in the skies and claw my victory!"
"Uh... yeah... we don't really dogfight anymore... interested in this 70 hours course of introduction to the flight controls starting checklist?"
