#preflight

When I was a Junior in high school, I called my local airport and spoke with the CFI (certified flight instructor) at a flight school to get some information. It was a very productive call that engaged me, and I was able to schedule my discovery flight for the following week.

When I walked through the gate and onto the tarmac, something changed; it went from planes being something cool to me actually going out and flying one. The flight instructor briefly walked me through what he was doing from pre-flight to takeoff, and then we were in the air.

He gave me the controls, and just like that, I was flying, not very well, but I was doing it. Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed it, I could not find time to fit training into my schedule with school, sports, and other extracurriculars, so I put training on the back burner.

Then, during my second semester in college, I found myself with a lot of free time, so I decided to head down to the local airport and start training. And just like that, I was on my way to becoming a private pilot. And it’s safe to say there were some unexpected experiences along the way.

We’ll likely have to wait a while to see Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha rocket take to the skies again. The first stage of the rocket that Firefly was prepping to make Alpha’s seventh-ever flight exploded on Monday (Sept. 29) during a preflight trial. “During testing at Firefly’s facility in Briggs, Texas, the first stage of Firefly’s Alpha Flight 7 rocket experienced an event that resulted in a loss…

Maybe when the guys get to New York, Ashlyn will have to change her hair color.

Well, it makes sense, considering that red hair is very rare. Only 2% of people have red hair, moreover, most are found in Scotland and Ireland. And this color is very, I mean really VERY noticeable in a crowd. The guys are already wanted, and not only the cranes are looking for them, but the government itself. In such a situation, having a bright and rare hair color is too risky.

If you ask what about the others, then I will say that yes, not only Ashlyn will need to change her appearance, but all the guys. I will focus on Ashlyn, because as I said earlier, she has a rare appearance unlike the others.

So maybe in season 3 we will see Ashlyn in a more "classic" hair color (hair colors that are more common, such as chestnut or brunette).
