Hello! I bring more Take To Flight AU! I am having a lot of fun with this AU, and it's revived a lot of my creativity. I feel I've been burnt out for the most part for a while now, and I think doing something for myself again has been really fun!

Lore Under the Cut!

So, it's a very loose story so far; all regions are connected on a map (the map will be below under the explanation). Basically, Team Rainbow Rocket has come across a very gritty version of a Pokemon universe, where Pokemon are still, for the most part, very wild, very few being kept as pets and even fewer being trained; some animals have jobs, like the Furfrou in the image, it is a hunting dog as well as a rescue dog when the time arrives, seeking out and retrieving objects or people. This universe utilizes old technology, such as planes, radios, etc., to function. The discourse between the regions mainly brought scientific development to a halt. Team Rainbow Rocket sees this as an easy opportunity to claim yet another AU in its quest to take over the multiverse. However, the people in this universe fight back, which is the first time in a very long time that all of the regions come together to work towards a goal, and scientific development booms during this time. Specifically, Ingo and Emmet are pilots in the Unovan Air Force and are part of a Recon Team in their trust De Havilland Mosquito, which is a wooden plane that was used for recon but also used as a nuisance bomber during World War II. On a mission to do recon in the East, they get intercepted by two fighter jets (I haven't decided which ones) and are separated from their group and put into a 2 v 1 dogfight, which doesn't end well. The fighter jets attacking them are from their Universe's Evil team, which I haven't really designed yet, but we are getting there.

Ingo, Emmet, and their navigator, Colress, are shot down; each is able to eject in a timely manner and deploy parachutes. However, Ingo and Emmet are vastly separated by dense forest and mountain ranges. Emmet and Colress are near enough to each other that they find each other quickly. However, Ingo is in a tight spot some people from a small village near Kalos find him. All three of them sustained injuries, Ingo of course, getting amnesia from hitting his head, Emmet was slightly impaled by a stick, and Colress is having a time^tm (I haven't really decided for him yet, but we will see) The map is very loosely drawn, I am not a map maker, but I was having fun and that was the important part to me. Also note the region of Kardin is my own fan region which I haven't really talked about but I am working on a side thing for that.

Thank you so much for reading my ramblings I appreciate it a lot.

a discussion on size and perspective of military aircraft

(for no particular reason)

This is a picture of a B-17 (without wings, tail and landing gear because the Smithsonian are monsters) next to an F/A-18 Super Hornet (a single person fighter jet). Now the B-17 isn’t sitting as high as she would be due to aforementioned lack of landing gear but you can see the similarity in girth of the fuselage between the two aircraft. But where the crew sits in the belly of the Fort, the pilot of the F/A-18 is sitting above engine (source: I’ve seen these gutted). The Super Hornet is smaller than the Tomcat (below) but she’s still big

Why are the wings coming out, Mav?

(that’s part of the Fort’s wing sitting by the nose of the Tomcat)

Anyway there’s not a lot of space in the belly of that Fort. And the space that is there is specifically because there’s just not a whole lot of anything in the interior.

Now compare that to the B-29

I was close enough to the same height above this as the Tomcat for it to make a negligible difference in perspective. She’s a beast.

(P-51 cameo across the walkway from her port wing for comparison)

A side by side of her cockpit and the Fort’s nose:

If the lighting were different you could actually see the pilots seats in the picture on the left. Compare that to where the cockpit looks out over the nose on the Fort.

And this btw is what Bucky was standing on when he goaded Curt to punch him (should’ve been fired again fr for that behavior)

and shoutout to @redbelles (who knows way more about any of these platforms -and aviation in general- than i do) and @ladywaffles (who let us both go off about all of this and more)

Could you make some SR-71 stamps/blinkies and/or general military and stealth planes? Ty :D

[MILITARY STEALTH PLANES - SR-71: STAMPS AND BLINKIES]

pls credit if you use

stamps best seen on dark mode

two sizes of blinkies: 730x99 px and 150x20 px

Hope I got mainly the right plane, such a cool request!

No drawings today, just planes from a ANZAC Airshow I went to today:))

The Pikes Peak Regional Airshow was this past weekend, I was able to get a few shots from my backyard.
