I watched a program on the weekend that showed this kind of racing with small powerful engine planes. i expected to see the Eagle jump out of one of them at the end of a race. Its amazing and very skillful flying.... edge of your seat stuff. The thing is they are actually racing planes and one false move and you're a gone. www.metacafe.com/watch/375699/aero_gp_malta_race_scenes/ This is some of the other things they do... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5271414644363766861

Holy Jet Airplanes, Batman! That is some serious flying stuff. Absolutely I could see Ken in the middle of that (did you notice the red/white/blue plane that maybe could have even been his?) - would be interesting if the Eagle got just as addicted to racing as the Condor.

I had heard of airplane racing before but have never seen it. I could definitely see Ken doing some of this stuff

Sounds like a fic to me, Shamrokchick....

These clips make me think of the Gatch II ep where Ken ends up racing an old flight school rival. Ken would do well at this!

Wow, that's freaking crazy!! But I could so see the Eagle doing that!!!

YES!!! I thought of it too when I was watching the program. You know I was facinated by those pilots and the small planes flying like that with so much skill and guts...

Go, go, go!

With Gatch I'm trying to figure out where they fit schooling in? Since the eldest is 18yrs old for starters....

With Gatch, I've always figured that they were all "home-schooled", with Dr. Nambu bringing in tutors as needed, to work around all their specialized weapons, vehicle, combat and demolition training. I think it is possible, though, that Ken could have attended a flight school, say, when he was 16 or 17.

I figured that too except in Eps when he meets an old school friend. Its almost like he should be older than 18yrs.
