As with everything else ever thought about or considered, someone else has already done it and posted about it on the internet. https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-sea-duck-review Sea Duck is awesome and if I hit the megalotto i wouldn’t be above paying someone to make it a reality.

I must have been just a little too old. I always thought of that cartoon as fun but not as interesting as the obvious inspirations. That is Han Solo and the Millennium Falcon crossed with Indiana Jones. E: once removed via Tales of the Gold Monkey.

Just because it has anthropomorphic animals doesn't make it some furry cartoon.

Well, look, furries will sexualize them, sure. But that's not the fault of the show, and it doesn't mean anthropormic animal cartoons should be shunned. It's kind of a staple in children's art. Somewhat relevant

The city they fly out of has that cliff canyon, a nod to Porco Rosso*. It has some Tales of the Gold Monkey in it. If we're talking Tailspin reboots, I quite liked the idea somebody had of making a communist Tailspin using the Be-12, and all the tales are G versions of shrewd communists dealing with wrong but mostly misguided capitalists *Porco Rosso is *strongly* in the flavors of Tailspin and Crimson Skies, and is a good movie to boot.

Looks like Westjet has signed a capacity purchase agreement with Pacific Coastal to fly regionals out of YYC. Sounds like about 11 return flights a day. Anyways the part that matters is Saab340 in Westjet colors. Also because: http://www.x-aviation.com/catalog/product_info.php/take-command-saab-340a-p-100

This is a real poke in the eye to the Encore guys again, they've been hosed seven ways to Sunday by the company of late. Also, considering how desperate PASCO has been for new hires, I don't see how they're going to be able to pull this rabbit out of their hat.

Took some googling to find the N-number of that plane. That's one hell of a rebuild in a year.  (Pilot forgot the fuel-shutoff valve on one of the wings tanks during aerobatics)

Everyone seems desperate for pilots right now. I've heard stories of people getting hired on with various operators at ridiculously low times -- I can't confirm any of the more far-fetched ones, but I do know my primary instructor just got a F/O job flying Lears with under 1000TT and no turbine or multi-crew experience.

The New York Botanical Garden's annual train garden had an adorable miniature JFK, featuring the TWA terminal, 13L, a DC-3, some horrible turboprop/MD-80 mashup, Concorde,  and TWA Flight 800.

Nebakenezzer posted:What Look, it's pretty simple. An aircraft that flies in a straight line in the middle of the sky is boring. You need something to spice it up. Something that brings tension. A flight through a canyon is like a natural obstacle course, it gives a perfect pretext to have the aircraft swoop and swerve, you can even get some scrapes on it that will justify a stop for repairs later in the show (perfect to have the protagonists meet other characters and advance the plot), and the rapid scroll of the cliff faces will help sell the impression of speed that you would not have in the sky. See also: death star trench run. That's also the same reason why very low altitude flights are more exciting than very high altitude flights. Real world example: the Mach Loop training range. Or stuff like that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcwuQFaxsGU Other ways to make flight exciting in a show involve racing (with no safety distances mind you, you need to put several aircraft in the same shot so that it looks like they're actually racing, and the risk of collision helps build tension) and combat (dogfighting only of course). So if you see a cartoon that features flying through a canyon, aerial racing, and dogfight combat, you have your explanation of why it looks like Porco Rosso and Tale Spin and whatever else.
