No pressure

Ok, there’s absolutly no pressure here.

I just need to land this airplane that’s all. I mean, it can’t be that hard can it?

Although, i need to land it on a bridge that is kind of small for this kind of plane. My friends cheer me on like madmen, insisting I do well. They remember how I did back with the computer games, that’s why they forced me to take on this challenge.

But there’s no pressure right?

I coax the controls gently towards my destination of the thin bridge. I watched the altitudemeter number get lower and lower as we quickly descended from the safe 5,000 feet we were earlier reaching.

The speed of the plane was picking up as we dived downward.

Then the 147 passengers in the back scream.

No pressure at all.
