No.2: A fast, sleek and practical aircraft that gets things done whilst still looking classic and beautiful. No.1: It's a completely useless flying aircraft carrier and it's awesome.

I've seen a lot of nordvpn ads, but this made me lol, and outshines all the rest.

If only the Colonials had used Linux alongside NordVPN we could have seen the Colonial fleet fighting at full strength.

You know a guy's British for sure if he calls it "Avengers: Assemble"

I'm loving the prominence of Thunderbirds on this channel, it doesn't get nearly as much recognition as it deserves.

The Concept Artist for the Quinjet, the Helicarrier, and the Infinity Gauntlet are the same person, Tim Flattery.

Now THAT is how you do a sponsored promotion. Brilliant.

Spacedock: mentions banshee and quinjet Halo Pelican and Phantom: *Am I a joke to you*

That might be one of the more innovative in-segment advertisements I've seen, and I love it. And in the middle of such a great video as well.

One of my favorites has always been the C-21 Dragon Gunship from Avatar.

I just love how the "Thunderbirds are Go" redesigns keep to the original design and have it make more sense. the new arms on TB3, the rotation on TB5 the escape pods for TB4, the better cockpit layout and multiple visible hatches for equipment for TB1, and of course the modular pod vehicles assembled on site in TB2, just brilliant!

The U.S. Government has used two flying aircraft carriers (Macon and Akron) in the past and has tried and is trying to make one out of a jumbo jet. The channel mustard has a great video on airborne aircraft carriers.

The Avengers quinjet is unique. It is designed for the specific purpose of transporting the elite teams for longer periods of time. In other words, the normal quinjet is what everyone else uses.

I think an honorable mention should go to Firefox. (the movie fighter jet, not the web browser)

I like that we got to see the Quinjet prototype in Captain Marvel. PS. The Expanse season 5 just confirmed! Yay!

- *install NordVPN on your battlestar today* DUDE! My desktop rig is called Battlestar.

Hahha love the VPN / BSG commercial! Hahha... so say we all! Frakkin cyberthreats!

The Shield Quinjet reminds me a lot of the Skyranger from XCOM Enemy Unknown

Yeah, the SHIELD Helicarrier is nice, but UNIT's Valiant is equaly great !

My favorite SciFi Aircraft is Sky1 a submarine launched fighter jet from “UFO”.

7:44 "Frakking toaster!" I love the pure child-like joy that comes through in your voice when you talk about the designs you love, it's so infectious! This is my favourite sci-fi channel on KZfaq by a country mile

Best Product Placement ever!

I am a bit disappointed by the lack of Ace Combat originals, but overall the list is agreeable.

This is the most creative ad I've seen in a while.

Just a headsup, the Insight-carriers used the same repulsor tech as the Iron Man armor. PS: I agree, heli-carriers are just awesome! ^^

You mentioned Thunderbirds... honourable mention to the Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet? The Angel Interceptors were pretty neat too.

Shield "The Bus" 616 really deserves an honorable mention. Their new aircraft, the Zephyr, is also amazing, but that original Bus... Idk, it was stated that those were popular in the 90s, and I was really hoping go see such a plane in the Captain Marvel movie, yet it didn't show up... Well, that's what I really call "Taking existing stuff and upgrading it up to 11". They made an airplane flying around the globe feel like a starship visiting different planets. And then... The turbofan Globemaster that also can VTOL... In some scenes you can see some blue glow in the turbofans, suggesting they've also added some hidden upgrades there. A similar plane is only seen in Spider Man Homecoming, with a slightly different design, but the idea was instantly recognizable.

Would have loved to see you cover the ADF-01 falken from ace combat. It’s one hell of a cool aircraft

On the topic of sci-fi aircraft, one thing I would really like to see you cover is the Super-Slyph from the book Yukikaze. It has an anime adaptation and a few model kits you could use for visuals. But I want to see it in part because Yukikaze is one of the very few military sci-fi franchises that focuses almost exclusively on air-power instead of space navies or ground-pounders, and the detail reflects that. It's also pretty clear while reading it that it had a huge impact on a lot of later sci-fi authors in Japan the way that Starship Troopers had a huge impact on a lot of sci-fi authors in the west. Another thing to recommend it as an interesting subject for analysis is that it is not, primarily, a combat plane (though it is capable of it) but a recon aircraft built to record an analyze flight and combat data, with an artificial intelligence designed to learn from that (and gets smarter every time it does.)

Would you consider doing a video about the GDI Kodiak from C&C Tiberium Sun?

Ace Combat would like to say hello, Aigaion beats helicarrier.

Best part of the whole video (and it was a good vid, the fact that the heli-carrier wins, and all the reasons why, best being 12 year old satisfaction, is great), is the ad, and the disclaimer at the end... just love it.

As a 1960's child loved the thunderbirds, I once in the late 80's read them described as neo-primative, but still love them. I always loved as a teen the cover artwork of many a sci Fi paperback's spacecraft, great to see models of sci Fi stuff today.

I'm sorry but the ad for Nord VPN in the middle... is one of the best ad reads I've heard in a LONG time. It just fits so excellently into this channel. It's hilarious, and an absolutely great way to do an ad read. I normally skip through them, but I listened through the whole thing. Thank you for making it entertaining.

Thunderbird 2! Hell yeah. Used to have a little model TB2 as a kid. Loved that thing, so easy to imagine different rescue scenarios around the house that needed its intervention. Also funny to see my friend's kids playing with Thunderbirds too, really a testament to the show and the designs' lasting appeal across generations.

Aww... I was hoping one of tilt-rotor craft from JC's Avatar made the list. I absolutely adore the SA-2 Sampson, AT-99 Scorpion and C-21 dragon from the movie and game. Great video as always!

That was legit the best ad I have seen in a youtube channel, great job!

Loving the Thunderbirds vehicles lately! You’re at least partially responsible for sending me on a nostalgia trip back to the ‘90s. Should do some of the vehicles from Captain Scarlet next - always loved that show. The design was the most gloriously camp, ‘60s-future thing you’ve ever seen

So glad Thunderbird 2 was on this list, absolutely love it as you said! Lives up to the 'one that actually does the job' even more in the new show, having gone to space and underwater!

How about an honourable mention for the Angels on Captain Scarlett?

"Tylium sold separately!" Haha awesome.

OMG.. I totally LOVE how incorporated NORD into your show.. I'm sure they're legal team had a field day with it.. lol.. truly epic in my book!. I love what you did with what you had... :)

Now thats how you make an Ad in a KZfaq-Vid! Nice work, Daniel!

So glad Agents of Shield got two lots of love in this video! And normally I don't like product placements in videos, but damn, that Toaster Protection one is actually funny!

This is probably the BEST ad i have EVER seen! Great take on monetization, Daniel!

That promotion is one of the best examples of good advertising I have seen in a long time. Hits the target audience, is entertaining, and explains exactly why one needs it. I almost always skip those, but was glad I didn't this time. Well done!

I have to admit that seeing #2 revealed as THUNDERBIRD 2 made me smile, but #1 revealed as the SHIELD HELICARRIER made me go " Yes!" and punch the air with my fist. I'm 56 years old, and have been a flying capital ship fan since Cloudbase from Captain Scarlet, so after UNIT's VALIANT, SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW's flying base, and the original big-chin Helicarrier from the comics, seeing the MCU Helicarrier given its glory made the kid in me squee in glee.

This is a great series. Love your top 5

One thing I like about Thunderbirds are Go is that the other thunderbirds get their time in the spotlight. I ESPECIALLY like Thunderbird Shadow

Excellent Ad.. one of the few YT clips where the ad is as good as the content.. Bravo(I signed up)

Thunderbirds 2 was an awesome craft! It was also the inspiration for a most important feature of the Eagle Transporter spacecraft in the live-action "Space: 1999" series; which was produced a few years later by the same creators, and sfx team. Smaller than the Thunderbird, and made primarily for spaceflight (it was capable of atmospheric flight if required), the Eagle could also swap mid-ship modules depending on the specific demands of a mission. It was a beautiful ship that was, in essence, a flying utility truck with multiple pods to choose from. The main reason I loved it is that it looked as realistic as anything NASA was thinking of at the time. As a kid, I remember painting the nose of my Thunderbird replica to look like the Eagle! lol

Best commercial break adaptation on KZfaq! Loved it! ;-) Wish more channels would do that...

That was one of the best commercial interlude I have seen on KZfaq.

OMG, licence that ad to Sci-Fi and Space and all the the Science Fiction TV stations around the world! That needs to be in movie theaters and TV.

The video was good as usual, however that sponsored segment was OTT and very well thought out.

Best sponsor spot I've ever seen Also, great to see sci-fi aircraft discussed, and it was super cool seeing the quinjet represnted

The line will be forever be stuck in my head every time I watch thunderbirds, TB1 Scott's picnic tables... classic

I doff my cap at you for the nord vpn ad. That was a genius way of including an ad for a sponsor

Absolutely love the advertisement in the middle of the vid! It's brilliant!

Airwolf could shoot down every aircraft on the list during one play through of its theme song. Also, while the movie was crap, I always liked the Talon fighters from "Stealth". I'd love to see that design show up in something else.

OKAY: The first time in my life the "Advertising" was as good and funny as the actual Video clip. Great work ! i had to laugh for 5 minutes straigt and pause the video . just gorgeous!

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow has some cool aircraft design too.

I appreciate the videos you've created for us. Please keep up the wonderful work!

Best integrated add ever! Awesome video too!!

That Add was AMAZING 😍👌😍 that's how every channel should incorporate them! A++ my dude!

I watched your Nord commercial 3 times, Absolutely the best ever! a great addition to your already fantastic channel

Absolutely love your description of the Helecarrier! LOL

out of all the VPN ads that youtubers do, this one was the best!

The hammerhead from space above and beyond! Has to be my favourite fighter!

Very cheeky on that commercial tie in, I loved it. Speaking of the Bus I'm surprised you didn't slot it in with the Quinjet since said Jet can slot into the Bus.

That sponsor part was smooth as hell

I’m a little surprised despite all the love for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that there was no honourable mention for the Zephyr... although is it a spaceship now rather than an aircraft?! I really love the sleek design and how the Quinjets, once docked, almost nestle into the frame along the top. I really wish we’d see some of these designs get official merchandise released, the OG Quinjet especially. Great video, guys! 👍

8:45 TB2 has the best introduction in Thunderbirds Are Go, when it looms out of the clouds at the start of the first episode. Clearly the writers knew how popular TB2 was, as it's the first Thunderbird to appear in the new show.

That Thunderbirds intro got me pissing myself laughing! YESS SPACEDOCK!!!

this ad... :D Well done, well done! A reaaly good video AND a creative ad! Nicely done!

I think the Ace Combat series has a lot of very good sci-fi aircraft. The CFA-44 Nosferatu and the Aigaion and it’s aerial fleet are my favorites, but the X-02/S, Fenrir, and the ADF series are pretty cool as well.

One of my favorite sci-fi aircrafts is Skyranger from Firaxis's XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within. Just a really iconic dropship design.

“Setup his picnic table”. Bloody love it.

I was getting ready to skip the ad, but then it started playing, and holy shit. I love it. Best BSG reference ever

My favorite on this list is the snowspeeder. When *Empire Strikes Back* came out I was a little kid in Alaska and I had a toy snowspeeder and it was a lotta fun in the snow! Poor Dax.

if you dont have a vpn then then dont link your computers in a network and for fraks sake stay out of Galacticas firing solution!

That's a fantastic list, wonderfully presented. The only substitution I'd make, if it were my list, is to add the Eagle transporter from Space: 1999 at #1. This probably dates myself, but I grew up watching that show, and that vehicle was my jam. (The one quibble, from an aerospace engineering aspect, however, is that the fuel tanks are ludicrously small to be able to provide the necessary range and power the Eagle's had. Ah, well, chalk it up to sci-fi magic. Thanks for all the great content. Love the channel!

As a retired USN officer, I like that the heli-carrier carried the hull number 64, the same as the storied carrier USS CONSTELLATION (CV 64). And remember, Daniel, the angled flight deck was a British invention!

Your number one spot is you just embracing your inner child completely and I love it. XD

When I saw the video listed, I didn't even think about Thunderbird 2, but boy, does it fit on this list.

Eureka 7 had some cool concepts for aircraft, like Gekko and Izumo, which were not only giant airplane but also carriers for mechas. That was really cool concept and logical result of unusual atmosphere of their planet.

The only time I've ever not just skipped through the paid content. Very amusing. Excellent work as always.

this is my favorite plug EVER!!!

Nice to see the "Thunderbirds" (#2) are appreciated after all these years, I'm 63 and enjoyed it as a kid.

Read the title & just knew you HAD to include a Thunderbird! (1st place reminds me of how great a Capt Scarlett movie could be) FAB/SIG!

200% AGREE!! Please make full full episodes on the helicarrier and the Tunderbird 2!!!!

“He shows up and sets up his picnic table”! LOL. Also, fell outta my chair lol @ disclaimer!

Damn, you made me remember that Thunderbirds episode where they shot down Thunderbird 2. Damn that was intense.

#1 came out as a surprise but i couldn't agree more. This thing is way beyond cool.

Best sponsor plug on a KZfaq video ever.

Amazon dropped another, new Teaser (sizzle reel) for The Expanse, and it was confirmed for Season 5!

Nice to see some love for Agents of SHIELD.

I too love the snow speeders. Very clever VPN ad
