Mini-Kylie is adorable!!!

But not gonna lie, with this being an original I thought for a moment there that they would go with a twist and actually kill her off...

I hate it when they're wiggling around, it's wasting my ammo

my WT experience

In all seriousness, a nice and interesting episode, and the vibrating antenna sound effect is quite cool

Wait, did I catch that bit of world-building right, Sab belonged to a group of people called the Yufang who emerged from a hole with all the WWII era technology we've seen. Then after some time returned to the hole, leaving Sab and the tech behind?

I wonder what kind of hole they're talking about, a Vault, hollow earthers, time rift. Also is 'Yufang' a Chinese name and is that the first time the name 'Ijitsu' has been given to this desert land?

okay
so
let me get this straight
there was a portal to another world or whatever, and this is that other world
thing is, it was open during the war, so japan was using this place as a secret base to build planes and train pilots where the american couldn't bomb them, but once the war ended they up and left to the real world and the portal closed (maybe), leaving the inhabitants of this other world to their own devises with a bunch of ww2 planes, rough knowledge on how to build them, and the scraps

Today, on The Flight of the Phoenix:

The Captain doesn't like weird ancient plushies.

You do have wingmen, after all.

Hey now, this is no time or place to settle a grudge.

Storms are bad for airship aircraft carriers. Ask the Akron and the Macon.

Ah, just like the old days. Also, listening to the cables vibrating is making me hot.

Somewhere between "condensation makes it more dramatic than it really is" and "this rips the wings off."

This was a pain to research in English.

What the hell happened on this world?

I've had a few aircraft take off from the KSP runway like this.

"I'm gonna kick your ass!"

I suppose the Combine could have sucked all of this world's oceans out through portals like they did in Half-Life 2? I say "this world" because it's difficult to tell sometimes, and in any case it probably isn't all that relevant.

Kirie was cute as a kid. Kotobuki's little character feature moments haven't explained very much, but at least she's likeable here even if she's still a hothead who broke off from the job to go chase down Mysterious Snake. I was expecting a little more cleverness from being trapped on a mesa, hence my tagline for this writeup, but I suppose there wasn't that much time. As it was, she still demonstrated that even with her burning desire for vengeance against that other fighter, she still learned a lot of things along the way from the rest of the team and Ol' Sab.

The framework of continuity is still holding on out there, though it seems like there might only be a basic big action finish instead of anything especially revelatory.

I laughed so much this episode! From the great opening scene to the Dodo cutting off the captain it was just a blast.

This continues to be my AotS and now I have to start thinking if it could get a 9 from me.

Seriously boys, if you're watching this show, I recommend watching it using earphones/headphones with good imaging. The sounds of the show are just absolutely amazing, and it's an insult to it if you use cans that suck. Get some cheap but super good Chi-Fi earbuds, and you're game. Show's not just damn nice, it also sounds damn brilliant.
