Soar High! (舞いあがれ!)

2007, April Hokkaido, Obihiro

Mai passed the theoretical part and is now continuing her practical training in Obihira.

It was finally time to take off into the sky.

Yes.

How are you, Mai?

Take this too, Takashi!

Now I work at the port in Fukui.

For packing. - Thanks.

I want to visit different places and find my own style.

You're already flying in Obihira, aren't you?

I'm looking forward to it

Fly up!

Week nine, part one:

We are a team!

Fallen leaves dance in the park

They show me how to fly.

I kindly thank them for that

It would be wonderful if I could be so light.

While confiding my concerns to a cat crossing the road,

I would like to see you again.

What words, what wishes, what scenery would you like

would they make you smile and make you happy?

I don't have a map, but I can go and look for it,

what I wish to give you.

Time and distance transformed into a bouquet of flowers is what

What I wish to give you.

You're just exaggerating again.

Everyone is talking about it.

That wasn't quite true about Suzuki either.

But it was. - What are you talking about?

Apparently there is a strict teacher from the armed forces.

Strict teacher? - Hey.

He was supposedly a pilot when he was in the Self-Defense Forces.

He mercilessly preys on students.

Fail....

You mean to expel people who don't have the ability.

That is the role of the teacher isn't it?

You're sure it doesn't apply to you, right?

They will announce the instructors today, right?

Yes

What is he like?

He is also called "God of Thunder from Obihira".

"Thunder Okochi".

Okochi….

Your flight training starts tomorrow.

Never forget safety.

Yes!

In this part of the lesson, they will form a team of three.

Each team will be led by an instructor.

Mai! We are in a team together. Let's get down to it.

I like that. - Me too.

I'm glad we're on the same team, Kashiwagi.

Don't make our average worse.

Come on, don't look so unhappy. - I don't know what you mean.

May we be successful.

Who will be our instructor?

Nakazawa. - Yes.

Yano. - Yes.

Yoshida. - Yes.

I am your instructor Yamashita.

Looking forward to working with you. - So let's go.

Who is our instructor? - I don't know.

Iwakura, Kasiwagi, Mizushima.

I'm your instructor, Okochi.

Looking forward to working with you.

Looking forwward to working with you. - Looking forwward to working with you

Me too.

First, we check point by point whether we can continue.

Iwakura, you start. - Yes.

First protocol check before tomorrow's first flight.

All circuit breakers engaged.

Parking brakes, set.

Inspection according to the protocol is the basis for the safe flight of the aircraft.

A protocol that includes ..

.. the moment when the pilot sits down to control until his departure.

The list contains 182 points.

Not one should be missed.

Power lever, forward.

Fuel pump, running.

Fuel pump, running.

One... Two... Filling.

Don't you remember the protocol, Iwakura?

Well... I thought I remembered him...

You will learn it by heart by tomorrow.

Yes.

Kashiwagi, replace her. - Yes.

Maximum performance.

60, checking engine instruments.

Rotation, 73.

Default altitude, 2000.

Set full saturation. Fuel pump, off.

Power lever set to 3-0.

All right.

It was good. - Well thank you.

In the sky, the situation changes every second.

It's different here than in the simulator. - I understand.

Mizushima, it's your turn. - Yes.

All circuit breakers engaged.

What's next?
