Silly Space Opera AU (Guess who?)

I can’t decide whether I want to watch the Christmas Special already, and be able to interact with BBC Ghosts-related content freely, – or postpone watching the Christmas episode and maintain the illusion that BBC Ghosts aren’t over.

However, I’m having a lot of fun working on my Star Trek AU.

Of course, it’s moving at my usual glacial pace, so I have no idea when it’s going to be done.

In the meantime, I also feel like making some promo pictures/concept art.

Again, no physical semblance to speak of, but it should be self-evident, innit? ;-)

Who knew my DC obsession would be (partially) rekindled by El family history?

Phantom Friday is in the groove...

... today with Navy and Marine carrier ops.

This Phantom on the USS MIDWAY is tensioned up and ready to go. The Phantom was designed before nose-tow bars on the nose gear for launch. Instead a cable bridle...

...attached the aircraft to the catapult shuttle. After launch the bridle fell off...

... and the aircraft was on the way. Some carriers had "bridle arrestor booms" (those ramps at the front of the decks) that caught the loose bridle for re-use. Otherwise it just fell into the sea.

That little bit of vapor at the tail is overflow fuel escaping from the fuel-dump valve on the tail.

This is when everything goes right. Sometimes it doesn't. Stay tuned...

If BBC Ghosts were reincarnated in Star Trek universe, which alien each of them would be?
