- You had a Navy pilot with you.

- He told me I flew it!

- He said I was a natural, he said that I hardly had to touch the stick.

- And besides, Hawke has been letting me fly for 3 months.

- I've been backing you.

- What does he mean by that?

- He means he's been on the controls correcting Blaze's mistakes.
