[OOC] Museless bleh...
[BIC] "Ich verliere H鰄e! Antragerlaubnis, sich zur點k zu drehen?"*
Leutnant Heinrich Z鰄ler rolled his eyes, tapping the stick of his Messerschmitt-109 impatiently at the sound of the new flying officer Heinz von K黵stein's panicky voice over the crackling static of the radioset built into his fighter's control panel. This was the third time today the new boy, shipped from Germany only a few weeks ago out of the Hitler Youth, had asked to head back on this short training jaunt. Well, perhaps they had run into a band of Hurricanes escorting bombers in for a bombing run, but they had gotten out of that fairly easily with two kills on Heinrich's end and a clean getaway once the nearest fighter squadron had been alerted to the group's presence and scrambled. Just an everyday scuffle with the Brits, and the kid (though he was only two years younger than Heinrich himself) was near wetting himself.
"No, Heinz," the German pilot sighed, rolling beneath his wingman's fighter for perhaps the tenth time that day to check his engines. Everything seemed to be running normally, as it had been all day. These were the newer F-6 models of the '109, and so far they had been performing admirably. "You're doing fine. I just want to try the fighters in a dive, hein? You've trained for this, haven't you?"
"Jawohl, Herr Leutnant," Heinz grumbled. "But I think my engine--"
"It's fine, Heinz. Start climbing and quit complaining."
The two ME-109s shot into the cloudless sky seemingly as one, Heinz hugging tight to the leutnant's wing as Heinrich sent his fighter into a shallow roll. Below, the ocean glittered like a carpet of diamond in the sunset--for some, a nice picture, but, Heinrich knew, for his young protegee, a terrifying prospect.
"You first, Heinz," Heinrich said firmly, his tone brooking no arguments. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the other fighter wobble as if in indecision, finally give in, and plunge downwards towards the waves, pulling up perhaps a hundred feet higher than necessary. Sighing, the leutnant pushed the stick down so his ME-109 was nearly vertical, feeling the force of gravity shoving at his chest as the restraints cut into his leather flight jacket like iron bars--
And then, with a slight touch at the controls, the fighter leveled out over the ocean, engines humming nicely with naught to show for its earlier stress. Heinrich nodded in satisfaction at the sound, adjusting his radio to better be heard. "What'd you think, Heinz?"
His wingman sounded shaky. "F-fantastic, Herr Leutnant."
Heinrich grinned, glad that Heinz couldn't see him. "Alright, Heinz. Let's turn around and head home. We'll see if we can spot some Spitfires on the way back--compared to Hurricanes, those are some real fliers. Maybe you'll bag one, huh?"
Glancing over at the cockpit next to his, he saw Heinz shudder. Shaking his head slightly, the German leutnant accelerated to lead the way home.
*"I'm losing altitude! Request permission to turn back?"
