"All right, my lovely, let's see how much they've messed with you." he mused, as he ran through the checklist; lowering and raising flaps, testing the elevators, ailerons and rudder. "Hm... Control Surfaces seem fine." he remarked. "Better check to see if they did any monkeying around with my guns or engines." he added, clambering along the wing with a small toolbox to unfasten the panels in the wings. They also looked all right, so now for the main one. "Okay, stand clear! I'm going to do an engine check." he called as he put his tools away and re-entered his cockpit. "Contact!" he shouted, and fired up first the left engine, then the right engine, and then both at once.<br/><br/>"All right, green across the board." he said, pleased.
