It was the best of the Century 21 shows and easily the darkest. Would have loved a second season.

Unfortunately I was in 2000, but there was some thunderbird repeats. I didn't get to watch the whole series but what I saw I loved

When I was listening to the call signs, all I could think of was the 3 gladiators biplanes of Malta: hope, charity and faith. But there was actually 6 of them.

Didn't they get one in the comics?

Same here, I always remember building and painting it and hanging it from my bedroom ceiling. My all time favourite fictional aircraft. The CGI interceptors are awful imo

Me too. Airfix didn’t do much detail on the cockpit though.

Me too!

Rhapsody was always my favourite.

Mine too. Very beautiful representation of that pilot. The most attractive member of the team.

i had the airfix model. and Destiny was and is my perfect woman

CGI has nothing to do with Gerry or Sylvia this was computer cartoonist trying to stick their idea of what the aircraft should look like Am sure Gerry and Silvia would be turning in their graves and would have disagreed with there design of a concept that reality are beginning to copy in todays fighters ( have a look at Lockheed Martin new X-59 fighter concept video ....)

​​@@callumjones7386 What are you talking about? That just came across as gibberish.

Can you imagine if there was an accident with that last one. "Dammit Janet!"

As they are mostly music related the code names should be Dirge, Requiem, Fugue, Nocturne and let’s keep your Janet.

And "Over" "Under"and "Roger"

@@KingofPotatoPeople I like. What would the Dark Angels call their planes though? An evil Interceptor would be an Ambusher or an Interloper?

What about "Karen"?

🤔 apparently they are 'wing braces' not sure what they are 'bracing' against.

@@andrewholdaway813 I think they’re landing gear. See how forward landing strut (which is collapsed during flight) also has one of those “lumps”?

@@pcarrierorange I found a 'cutaway' drawing that labels them as wing braces but what they're attached to us um, 'vague' to say the least.

The Viper jet design at the beginning looks interesting. A wide thin body gives lift and a forward-leaning tail.

At hypersonic speeds wings are more for maneuvering that lift. Odds are those pods are micro-thruster units to stabilize flight. They might even be there for (A theoretical) form of in air vaccu-cavitation system that act as auxiliary control modules.... yeah I know.... but you won't believe the math behind that one.

That is. 3000 knots = 3452.338 miles per hour

Mach 4.5

Or 3000 mph. 2606.929 knots

3.91 speed of sound.

This cartoon was /is almost 50 years old(1967-68) Northrop wasn't around then (Founded 1994) never mind the F5 its first flight was in 2006 - 39 years after Angel aircraft were first shown on TV. Hell the Harrier is still a better aircraft except in stealth and speed (funny its first flight was the same year (as the angel craft) - 1967 - and still was in production until 2003!)..... but airframes wasn't designed for that purpose that the F35s are designed for (there was a new replacement for the Harrier on the design board but shelved cause the UK government withdrew funding that would have still beat the F35 in performance and cost development and production costs of each aircraft ) The concept of angel aircraft are still today becoming reality as technology catches' up with a brilliant minds of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson who though up the futuristic world of 2067 which isn't that far away and many other aspects of this short-lived series is still being developed today as a new invention(s) that the concepts (abet in model/cartoon form ) was shown back in the 60s ........

oops sorry wrong aircraft (2006 that was the F35) the F5 first flew 1964 but still didn't looked nothing like an angel aircraft .didn't have V/STOL couldn't land/ take off on short runways so really the F5 wasn't anything like them(and the F35s are still poor copies and still behind design ) F5 are now chase aircraft for NASA or training machines in many air forces world

Just to clear the confusion the Northrop Corporation started in 1939 till 1994 where they merged with Grumman corp to form Northrop Grumman Corporation

You'd assume that they'd be using the best :)

😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

It's the SHEF March from Point 783 :)

@@ACtheLegend Thanks for mentioning that! Will remember it!

@@southpark4151 no probs, it definitely has a Thunderbirds vibe!

Much as I'd like to (was rewatching TAG earlier) it isn't strictly an Anderson series :(

Typically doesn't move while launching fighters.

7:21 :)

Did you actually watch the entire briefing? 1:55

I highly doubt they're already almost done xD

I was scared of the sidewinder when I was a kid. Likely coz it reminded me of a bug with those legs and as a little girl I didn't like creepy crawlies!

Now it makes sense...Gropey Joe is a Mysteron agent, he’s actively acting to advance their war of nerves. Let’s go Brandon!

Catapults are faster and more fuel efficient.

The wheels are inside the skids, they deploy for conventional landing strips.

Similar concepts developed at similar times. Cloudbase was created independantly from SHIELDs influence.

I believe the reasoning at the time was that they had faster reflexes than the men.

I thought it was that women can take higher G forces without blacking out.

The same reason that the Captains were all men??

its so that Dads would be as into it as their sons.
