 Initially uninterested, Blackadder is more agreeable when he learns of the "20 Minuters" squadron, so named because new pilots only spend 20 minutes in the air.At Staff HQ, Blackadder tries to join the Flying Corps; Captain Darling tries to stop him, but General Melchett allows the transfer.At basic training the next day, Blackadder learns that the flight instructor is Flashheart, and that the actual reason for the name 'Twenty Minuters' is because the 20 minutes is the "life expectancy" of a new pilot.
