[blue smoke with white Maine Coon orders the huge fire-fighting plane
fueled and begins his pre-flight exterior inspection. Finishing that, he
picks up his helmet, motions to Skye to join him, and they board the
plane, take their seats, and begin the rest of the pre-flight check.]

Can you handle the navigating, too, Skye, just in case Zizi doesn't make
it? We need to make Unkle Major proud, you know.

[Skye assures Storm that he can.] Put on a full load of fuel, boys, I'm
not sure how far we will be going. And, don't forget to put the
containers for the nip on board.

[back a Major's hanger where all his planes and copters are still kept
in tip-top condition and flown by Storm, Hunter, Skye, and Patrick, a
handsome figure steps from the shadows who looks remarkably like the
legendary Major. Attired in Major's flying suit and leather flying
jacket, he waves the groud crew into action. He checks his watch,
hoping his Great-Unkle Major's chief navigator arrives soon. Zizi is
the best.]

Ok. I just need to know what type of aircraft you need. Then, we can
gas it up and get airborn.
