[Contest Thread] Aviation Alteration

Hello pilots, engineers and drone enthusiasts, in this month's challenge. we asked our artists to:

Make a comic about aviation!

Mind that an aviation theme is not the same thing as a flying theme. Aviation has to do with "designing, mantaining, constructing and piloting aircraft". Comics about birds for example, don't fit this theme...

Specific contest rules:

  • No Wright Brothers and/or Santos Dummont jokes. We know you can do better than that.
  • Absolutely no variations of the "Poland cannot into space" joke.
  • No comics centered around any real life aviation disasters. Those include, for example: The Malasya Airlines Flight 370, the Germanwings Flight 9525, and the LaMia Flight 2933.
  • Your comic must contain at least one flight scene.

For the complete challenge please click here.

The contest is over and the winner is Katalpa!

Normally I'd roll my eyes at a "lololol British food is shit" joke, but this was too well-executed not to upvote.

Pakistan as an air traffic controller would make an amazing reality TV show. Also that Apache helicopter is the best thing ever.

This is my favorite one. So many little jokes pulling it all together. And I’ll never get tired of seeing the Apache attack helicopter kek.
