A sketch of a sendup, if not a parody, of the cover art for Iron Maiden's "Aces High" song - with Super Collie flying an A4K Skyhawk as opposed to a Spitfire.
Sketched entirety in Krita. I'm trying to decide whether to ink and colour this.

I don't know about the Skyhawk being a "superjet", seeing as it was built in the 1950s / 1960s and the RNZAF only got theirs in the 70s...
... on the other hand, the RNZAF A4K's got their avionics upgraded to practically F-16 standard in the 1990s, and the Argentine Air Force's Skyhawks did give the Royal Navy a run for their money during the Falklands War. So probably more of a "pocket rocket" than a "superjet".
But yeah, Super Collie's probably already regretting her offer to fly the thing

<looks up Google> Ah, the ME163 Komet... yes, you're right that Super Collie would DEFINITELY want to pass on flying that one! (I think after the war only one Allied pilot was game enough to fly it powered - once, and that unofficially.)
By the way, what does "Kraftei" translate to in English? Google Translate has failed me

"power egg" I think. due to the eggshaped body we called it like that.and because of the rocket in the ass whcih was not switchoffable.
there is a story about one test pilot who crashed right after taking off. by the time they reached the wreck the highly aggressive fuels have already eaten away the pilot's body and most of his gear and any woodwork.
yes, definitely pass that one.
