Sci Fi Airshow
Sci Fi Airshow

Just what it says on the tin.
Think this would qualify as another "Meta-inspirational" site for Fenspace? ^_^

It's already there, Logan -- for a few days now. It's even inspired a new ship design. Thanks for echoing it here, though, because it does have a wider appeal than just to the Fenspacers.

Where is this? I can't find a location listed on the website.

Judging from my read of it, I'd say it exists only on the web.

I mean, they're talking about an actually-built-by-Pan-Am Orion that flies to the moon and back?

Yes, it's an imaginary airshow of non-existent "practical" vehicles built for shows we know actually used models and props.

You mean the FS-1 didn't really exist?....Not Fair!

Yeah. I thought it was a real collection of mock ups and models that you could walk around, or go into, and art of what they would look like in space. Darn.

They've added a tour of the Space:1999 Eagle boneyard to the site.

Just thought folks might like to know.

You could probably branch out and have a Sci-Fi Car Show as well. Though you'd want to, you know, vet that to keep out the killer cars. Not that you wouldn't want to do that for the air show, but the only one that immediately comes to mind is the killer AI jet fighter from "Stealth." With a Car Show, you've got a wide variety of haunted vehicles, including several from the Stephen King collection. (I don't know about you, but walking into a convention center and seeing a 1958 Plymouth Fury parked next a White Western Star 4800 semi sporting a Green Goblin mask would make me turn right around and get the fuck out.)

I think I'd be more interested in this if they also had out-of-character pages about the real construction/history of the props and miniatures used. Of course, I suppose there's only so many ways to say "bodged together out of some sheet stock and a bunch of plastic model kits," or "a wooden frame and fiberglass shell with any gribblies we could find for detailing."
