The next thing I knew I was staring up at the pixilated ground of Iwakuni that was probably supposed to be below, and then the screen went red, which I knew was a bad thing because my instructor said, "Uh oh." But not to worry - he hit "reset" (the advantages of video games) and gave me another shot. I showed my gratitude by immediate crashing the new helicopter into the runway...
