*is here because of beta Ophymirage's recommendation*
Nothing makes me happier than when an author remembers this about Jack:
First, last, always, he's a PILOT! Captain of a ship, any ship. To forget his love of flight (whether in or out of an atmosphere) is to forget what made him who he is. And to forget his expertise in tech from many eras is to rob him of who he is. This is the man who the DOCTOR allowed to help him with repairs to the TARDIS -- not to be taken lightly, in spite of the excessive flirting. And it's that winsome, childlike glee that we get to see from time to time that makes Jack such a wonderful character. Part of him is pure Peter Pan.
