Leon's eyes narrowed a little as he studied the CO of Dragon squadron, wondering how old Zilkin was. Three years younger than himself, maybe four? It was difficult to say for certain, but Leon probably had a few years on him. "It's been too long, too early in my life to really miss it nowadays, but I can still remember how densely Earth was once populated. I don't think it's how I would describe things nowadays." He shrugged. "But if you prefer space, that I can agree with."<br/><br/>"Of course you would," Liz stated. "You fighter pilots with your Fives sure are at home in space. Me, I miss flying in an atmosphere, landscape rolling away under my plane, clouds, blue sky." As much as the VF-5 was a souped-up version of the VF-1, the modern fighters had traded a larger airframe to house engines and thrusters for aerodynamics. In an atmosphere the VF-5s were useable, but not quite in their element.<br/><br/>"But," she conceded, "as a living environment, Aluce sure beats a spaceship. We have most of the amenities of a real town here and a lot of open space for those who enjoy it. It's not a bad place to make a living, if you can stand the boredom."<br/><br/>Leon Westmore chuckled. "Don't mind Liz," he told the two newest squadron commanders. "Her Hawks – and Phantom – fly longer patrols than we ever will. Anyway, you guys have any idea what you will eat yet? I think I'm going for the Quescadilla. Good portions with more than enough meat to be filling, and the dips here are pretty good. And it's a bit lighter on the wallet than the steak.
