Was that the Show Fireball? Actually from the side it looks a little like Lockheed SR-!00 Aurora!

Fireball XL5 was another show, this one was Thunderbirds, the original and best!
Team America got a lot of inspiration from Thunderbirds, especially the goofy way the puppets walk around...

I love the thunderbirds series. The movie fucked it up and the original story was better anyway. T-bird two, four and one are my all time faves

Yeah, I did *sort of* enjoy the film, but it was not the same as the original TV series, which I used to watch as a kid, and thought it to be completely wonderful...

As usual, very nice job!
And don't ask why, but it reminds me of the Airbus Beluga- I saw it doing aerobatics a couple of years ago, and I'm still amazed by its agility.

Yeah, I'm not much impressed by airliners, but seeing the 380 at Farnborough was amazing....
