Say hi to Aileron! (formerly Tank, and originally by PlumpProductions :P)

He's a dragonplane, commissioned built in 1990 by the US government as a combat shuttle plane, designed for getting in and out and handling precious cargo. He started off life working exclusively rescue operations under the command of Lieutenant Bob Tungsten, a phoenix (the very same who later patronizes the Sawmill pizzeria every night ;) ). And he was good. He earned a reputation for his stubbornness and direct approach, shooting in and dive bombing past enemy fire to scoop up targets wit his long claws and carry them out of hot zones. Of course, thing's wouldn't stay that way forever... (continued next week)

So here he is! I've developed the backstory to this guy and so here we go with posting it in chunks illustrating his life story so far ^^ this first part being right after he was built/bio-engineered.
