AnCo needs its very own aircraft, because ... well ... just because.  I can get a really good deal on some "experienced" military-surplus aircraft which have been sitting around yearning to fly again for, oh, several decades at least.  But, hey, they're a steal!  Somebody will have to get a pilot's license, I suppose, since fussy officials tend to check for such things.

It's up to you, the members of this message board, to decide which one of these would best suit our purposes.  Of course, the military insignia can be easily replaced with flashy AnCo logos.  Then, depending upon which aircraft we choose, either all of us or a couple of designated representatives can fly around dropping AnCo leaflets and otherwise thrilling crowds wherever there's an airport - or wherever there's an airport with a cheap landing fee.

Huh

Option 1


Please click on the image to view its full size.

This old-timer may look a bit frayed around the edges, but so what?  Besides, there's that wicked skull emblem; and gull wings are cool.  So, she burns a little oil?  Just shut that engine down and she'll fly just fine on the other one.  Hey, pilots do it all the time!  You can fix the leak when you reach the next four-lane highway.

Option 2


Please click on the image to view its full size.

There's no landing at Tiny Town's airplane patch with this big guy!  But check it out:  everybody can come along, 'cause there's acres of room in there.  We can have an open house at every airfield!  Sure, aviation gasoline isn't cheap; but you only live once.  Buzz some schoolyards and scare the piss out of little kids!  They've never seen one of these loud-ass things up close before!

Undecided

Option 3


Please click on the image to view its full size..

Aww, isn't it cute?  Well, it is - for a biplane.  This peppy little number can land anywhere.  She's easy on fuel and in the event you run short, you can glide a long way with all that biplane lift!  Just don't cram too many people in there....  Oh, before I forget:  lay off the outside loops with these old-timers.  They're shiny, sure, but nothing lasts forever.

Undecided

Option 4


Please click on the image to view its full size.

Don't think just because this one looks (shall we say) more normal than the others doesn't mean it's not fun to fly.  Mr. Reliable, that's his name; and that's a quality you'll come to appreciate, believe me.  Anyway, an entire squad of AnCo scanlation commandos can fit inside - a kind of rapid-response team, if you will.  Just don't stand on the brakes when you land this machine, 'cause propellers are damned expensive nowadays.

All right, 0235, you're the pilot then!  That's a load off my mind, since I was worried nobody would either have a pilot's license or would want to bother getting one.  Thanks!

Smiley

I think you're right, VertigoOption 4 is just the right size!  We'd have to take paint-scheme designs from members who are interested, then (somehow) choose the best one.  Yikes, more paperwork!

Grin

Hikaru, a brand-new stealth-technology aircraft like that would be wonderful.  We could sneak up on other scanlation groups and steal their stuff!  But, alas, we could never afford the damned thing.  Besides, there's something artsy about funky old airplanes....

Cheesy

Skyrocket addendum!

I should have included an Option 5, for the Grumman XF5F-1 Skyrocket - but I forgot.  So, shoot me!  That little aircraft is cute, fast and maneuverable; plus, it's a steal for only 10 Internets.  Oh, well.  But what makes it even more cool is....  Well, you'll see.











Huh?  What's this?  Why, it's our little Skyrocket ... made famous via a comic book.  It's Blackhawk!



Yes!  It's the world-renowned Blackhawk Squadron, come to save the day from bad guys and such like!

But first, we have to sing the official song.  Is everybody ready?

All right, sing!




Whew!  Now, on with the action!  Scramble!



By the way, there was a film serial too:  Blackhawk:  Fearless Champion of Freedom (Columbia, 1952).



Let's not forget there's also Lady Blackhawk, who shares equally in all the dangers and perils faced by the Squadron!



She's appreciated abroad (so to speak) as well as here in the States.  I wonder why....



Anyway, I know the Skyrocket is impractical for AnCo's purposes because it's a single-seater; but I like it nonetheless.



Kiss

All right, Captn' Red, I've called in some favors and can now tell you a few things about what's been going on with aliens-and-flying-saucers stuff.  First of all, every single claim regarding extra-terrestrial spacecraft and/or aliens is pure unadulterated bullshit.  All but one, that is.  It actually began with this seemingly-innocuous report filed over in your part of the world:


Report regarding Norwegian military attaché's 16-year-old daughter

Come to find out, that really was a spacecraft and there really was an extra-terrestrial alien aboard!  As you might expect, it was all hushed up; but behind the hushing was a lot of action.  Scandinavian government, military, police and scientific folks teamed up and found the damned thing.  It was in a car park behind a brothel in Amsterdam.  Through some deal made with the U.S., the machine and its lone occupant were transported to the now-infamous Area 51 near Groom Lake in Nevada.


Area 51 at Groom Lake in Nevada
Please click on the image to view its full size.

Once there, the "parcel" and its occupant were locked in a building which was provided the tightest security imaginable.  (The green arrow in the photograph below points to the room, inside the building, where the spacecraft and alien were kept.)  Wisely, unlike what happens in science-fiction films and novels, nobody rushed in to dismantle the spacecraft.  They merely observed it - for years.  Nothing happened.  They knew somebody/something was inside it, though, because both movement and noise were detected from time to time.

Experimental X-ray techniques enabled scientists to reconstruct, roughly, a cross-section of the spacecraft.  All this happened years ago, so some data have been lost and many who worked on that top-secret project are no longer with us.  Anyway, here's what the machine looks like:


Diagram of occupied spacecraft kept at Groom Lake in Nevada

Eventually, by happenstance whilst in the U.S. Air Force, I was asked to volunteer for "a very risky and highly-sensitive" assignment to "parts unknown."  Naturally, being crazy on the inside though calm on the exterior, I agreed.  "It sounds dangerous,"  I said.  "Oh, yes, it's very dangerous!"  "Count me in."  My specialty was unknown languages.  That meant, since the languages I was supposed to study were unknown, I merely sat behind a desk leafing through trashy magazines all day or talking on the telephone.  Once in a while, I'd have a pertinent thought; but that didn't happen very often.

Long story short, after several months of trying I was finally able to communicate with the alien.  We even went to the mess hall for lunch one day, which created quite a stir so we decided not to do that again.  Guess what?  She's a lamiac naga, or nagaic lamia - whichever!  Seeing her took some getting used to, which was all right because that meant few superior officers ever bothered playing the "stand-over man" role with me.  Actual eating of children would have been unseemly, so she and I compromised and we fed her an all-meat diet.


Rikchik female in stress-relief therapy

Somebody made that sketch one day whilst I was administering stress-relief therapy.  Tongue brushing!  Who knew?  Well, she liked it - a lot.  "Tie my wrists together and don't stop!" she'd say, in her best Rikchik.  That's all I can tell you about this subject.  Everything else is way classified.  The good news is that she doesn't age!  The bad news:  I can only visit her once every two years, since I no longer have "official business" to conduct nor the proper security clearance anymore.  Oh, well.  I'm told she asks about me nearly every day.

Sad

=^..^=

P.S.:  Any resemblance to actual persons either living or dead is purely coincidental.  (That's just a standard disclaimer and doesn't mean what's written above is false - or true.)  Once you're read this post, you are to eat it and never mention its existence to anyone.  Thank you.  Have a nice day.

For that "alien tongue brushing" image, Hikaru, click here.  All I did was substitute some non-relevant Rikchik language for the Japanese.

That lamia-naga gal is a lot better looking, at least from the waist up, than actual Rikchiks!  I'm glad you replied, because although I enjoy telling stories it sometimes (like this time) takes a while to cobble everything together and replies are hence appreciated.

Which link is blocked, 0235?  There are two of them in my previous post, both of which worked just a moment ago.  Maybe Danbooru and/or Rikchiks are/is blocked by censors where you live...?

Huh
