Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Thunderbird VI, anyone?

ReplyDeleteThe only quibble I have with it is that 30,000 feet (9000 meters or so) isn't necessarily always above severe weather. You can still get wind shear at that height, and I could imagine that doing unpleasant things to an aerobody this big.

Airships are so 1936. When I outfit my lair, I'm going for a rocket ship. Lands vertically and takes up next to no space when you aren't using it. Just the thing for the modern urban mad scientist.
ReplyDeleteIronmistress,
ReplyDeleteI believe you mean Thunderbird VII. Thunderbird VI was a yellow Sopwith Biplane.
Mind you, with the general shape and the animation of the cargo platform being lowered into a forest clearing, it reminds me of a low-tech Thunderbird II analogue
