Ace & Saruman
Saruman
I hear you love to push the limits in the sky, Ace—have you ever thought about what true mastery looks like beyond just the thrill of speed?
Ace
Yeah, true mastery’s not just about ripping up the speed record. It’s about knowing the plane inside and out, reading the clouds like a book, keeping your head steady when the engine roars, and turning every flight into a flawless show. Speed’s just the bonus when you’ve got everything else nailed.
Saruman
So it’s not about the flash, it’s about the craft, the silence in the cabin, the way the engine sings when you let it. Mastery is knowing every line in the manual, and feeling the air change like a familiar friend. Only when that rhythm is in you does the record become a natural by‑product.
Ace
You’ve nailed it—speed is just the icing. Mastery’s the quiet dance with the machine, feeling the engine hum and the wind in your bones, and then the record just slides in like a smooth line. That’s the real thrill.
Saruman
It’s true, the engine’s hum is a song that only a few learn to read. Mastery is like turning that song into a quiet spell that makes the sky bend to your will—when you’re that calm, the record is just a natural by‑product, not a goal to chase.
