#RunOn Scout runs in from the side of the stage and yells, "Gravity Check!" as he jumps as high as he can. When he lands, he says, "CHECK!" and runs off the stage. Or, if the ground is soft enough and he is tough enough, he can flop on the ground for his landing and yell, "CHECK!" as he staggers off stage.
Required: as many scouts as you want in your airplane. Script: Scouts line up in double column as if in a small airplane with pilot and copilot in front. pilot: (flying along, squinting out the window) Man, I hate these night flights. Since this cheap airline made those cutbacks, half our instruments don't work. Can you see the airport yet? copilot: Nope, but I'm looking. pilot: (after a short pause) We're getting low on fuel. We better find that runway soon! Sure wish this cheap airline would spring for a radio. copilot: (pointing to the right and down) I think I see it - Over to the right! (pilot steers to the right, everyone leans) pilot: I can't see it. Sure wish this cheap airline would install brighter lights! pilot: Aha! There it is. I can see a couple lights. Here we go! (start a dive, other scouts lean forward and give sound effects) copilot: I think we're coming in too fast! pilot: Give me 20 degree flaps and we'll slow this bird down. copilot: 20 degree flaps, sir! (moves brake lever and sound effects) pilot: More flaps and cut back the engines! copilot: 40 degree flaps! (move brakes and throttle) pilot: It's gonna be tight! Full flaps and cut the engines! copilot: Full flaps, sir! pilot: Hang on! (everyone lurches as they hit the runway and bounce to a quick stop) pilot: Whew, we made it! Man! That was a SHORT runway! copilot: (looking to left and then right) Yep, and WIDE too!
