He certainly can’t manage something as big as this.

The Skylands Pt.4
I had always enjoyed flying through the clouds. You truly felt one with the sky, especially in a plane. We had been flying under the blanket for about ten minutes now. Another five minutes and we would reach our ascension point, and most likely any enemy ships the pirates sent to intercept us.

Engineers checked over their ships a final time to make sure everything was working properly. Pilots gearing up and making sure their flight suits were in working order.
