Cue: Main titles for the 1960's era movie Airport.

Alternatively: Talespin.

They don't make 'em like they used to =w=

hahaha i mean aww.

Schadenfreude is still funny :b

Oh, yeah, disadvantages to being transformed. Looks cute, though!

Which is the advantage of being transformed X3

This reminds me of someone else doing something similar with King and a stick shift

I'm sure King has been the butt of every "short" or "small" joke there is to make - and will be for the foreseeable future.

Haha i was thinking "that looks like King" X3 really good stuff

Rick's characters are easily recognizable, even in other people's styles X3

Thanks!

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS ON PATREON?

Absolutely superb. At least your stubby little tail ain't getting in the way, King!

I dunno. It's okay though X3

In one of the old Star Wars novels there was an Ewok that was taught to by space ships. He had some arm and leg extensions to be able to work the controls

It was one of the X-wing novels by Aaron Allston. The funny thing is that it started as a joke while undercover and ended up being true in a later novel.

Can't imagine that working out too well, but Star Wars has a lot of unbelievable elements in it we're willing to forgive for the sake of what it is X3

While it's not an all-inclusive solution, someone could show him how to program the auto-pilot and leave it at that.

As I understand it, you still have to get the things in the air by yourself, and vice-versa.

"Eh... Not that much of a big deal. The important controls are all in one place, and will fly the plane for you. There's also lots of screens and buttons you can safely stand on the middle console to reach them."

"Okay, that second one is more of a problem."

Honestly, he'd probably just ask Bailey to help out in the reach department X3

oh my god lol

"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."

Ye olde quotes

He's just a little guy!

Yes. With little guy arms and legs.

Should get a Dinosaur Head On A Stick. ;3

It's okay King, these things practically fly themselves.

Mostly.

It's that mostly that's the issue >.O

Sounds exactly like King...

I feel King's written well enough for both myself and others to be able to empathize with him to the degree that we can emulate his specific kind of grumpiness X3

And by God do we empathize...I love his character, almost as much as Kitsune.

I have missed seeing that pup!

Aye. Shame the story's over, but I can't blame Rick either. HP! ran forever XD

This is why many cockpits in anthro worlds can be easily reconfigured for different sizes.

… Not that it helps if you don’t know how to fly…

Really depends on the setting

That's great. Need two more, to run throttles and pedals.

At the very least

But
BUT
BUTT

You're we've got.

Every one else had the fish.

I don't get why people would eat something like fish in a closed environment anyway XD

King very dissatisfied for not being able to have private airplane driving lessons. TWT

I mean, he could probably ask 'sune for a hand on that ... though he's probably also the last person to ask 'sune for anything.

I lived with a half-dozen Corgis; none of them could fly, either.

Just means you didn't throw them hard enough.

They say these planes are getting so advanced, the main control is... the auto pilot.

You can have most planes fly the actual travel route by themselves and just star/land the things. This is true.

It's also a Godsend to formerly overworked pilots who were, at times, struggling to stay awake. Now, they can get their shut eye on the job and be there for the important stuff... and as a back up, should the auto pilot fail for any reason.

Of course, on a nearly unrelated topic, one of my favorites comes from a world war era plane. This bomber was behind enemy lines. After having completed the run and taken on a ton of damage, the crew nervously evaluated their chances. With engines sputtering and things looking bleak, the crew turn on the super primitive auto pilot... which basically locks the flight stick in place... and bail out into enemy territory. By odds beyond imagination, the engines make just enough of a recovery to keep that plane going. To the point that it almost makes a landing back at the airport in allied territory. Comes in towards the runway. Flies over a couple buildings. Crash lands into a field. Had the landing gear been down, maybe would have even been better for ware. Confused personnel are not sure what to think as they approach... and this ghost plane never has anyone depart. Days later, the crew of the plane reach allied territory. Shaken up, but A-OK. The story is out there on the internet, ready to be discovered. Though simple, it is interesting to read about.

awwww

Hah!

"And that's the story about how I became the best pilot in the fleet!"

Really fun idea!

-what do you mean theres a button for everything!! what is this a replicator? ...
why do you guys have booster seats anyways?!
