[Progflaw99]

Location: Decima Cold Weather Training & Research Facility, Hoth // 40 mi South of the Northern Pole​

Sub Location: Flight Deck​

Objective: Complete Basic Flight Maneuvers and Cold Weather Atmos Control​

Nils felt a chill run down his spine as the blast doors to the hangar began to open. The temperatures on Hoth were always frigid, though survivable during the day if you were careful. Even beneath the environmental flight suit and non-regulation leather jacket. Small strands of the fur lined collar bristled in the breeze entering from the moving doors. The young pilot stood next to a specially designed TIE Trainer. More or less it was a gutted TIE Bomber, the bomb pod replaced with an identical cockpit for an instructor complete with override switch for emergency control. It was something Nils wasn't a particular fan of, he would have much rather taken the interceptors in the bay out for a spin but he knew how important it was to train the new pilots. He hadn't been assigned, rather he'd volunteered for this particular flight. Anything to get back into the cockpit.

Cautiously he checked the chrono wrapped around his wrist. Five minutes till the new pilot was supposed to arrive. Enough time for a smoke. Casually, he clipped his helmet to his flight harness, letting it hang as he retrieved a small paper box. Opening it's card-stock folds, he retrieved a singular cigarette and let it dangle from his partially parted lips. Stuffing the small box back into the pocket of his jacket, he retrieved a small silver lighter, flicking open the lid and raising the flame to the end of his cancer stick. A short puff of smoke from his parted lips and the lighter clicked shut, disappearing once more into his pocket. Nils took a long drag, savoring the smoky flavor as he waited. The blast doors of the flight deck were almost completely open at this point, the howl of the wind outside echoing along the inner hangar. Snow was being blown across the opening, reducing vision slightly but not enough to ground the flight.

Casting a wayward glance towards the hangar entrance, he waited patiently for the new arrival.

Sara haddock heard about flight training in the cold, however she almost didn't go until she heard it was open, she gave a grin to herslef as the shuttle had landed and let her out, she made her way to the flight preparation area to suit up, she suited up as she grabbed her helmet as she looked into it and smiled , she had fulfilled her dreams, now to reach ace pilot.

She started out to the flight deck seeing the doors opening and the cold air rush in, she spotted [member="Nils Brenner"] and hurried iver a sshe saluted "well then good to see you here sir, I'll assume this is for the cold flight training
