Description These are the other main characters that make their appearances in the story 'Skyfire'.

Left

Top left:
Chadwick Devereux. He's a young F-106 Delta Dart who loves music every bit as much as he loves flying. He has a knack for getting himself into mischief, even when he isn't trying to.

Bottom left: Baxter Westwood. He's a cruel, manipulative, and deceitful F-105 Thunderchief. He was originally Skyfire's spouse, before she divorced him.


Right

Top right:
Kenneth Ventura. He's a rare model that never saw military service, an F2Y Sea Dart, the only supersonic seaplane. He's quick to make a joke and loves to inject humor into any situation. He and Douglas are good friends.

Middle right: Douglas Abbott. He's a shy and seasoned 727-100 who worked as an airliner and then as a cargo plane for a total of 36 years. He received a modernization which included new engines, a new livery, and fittings to suit his role as a charter aircraft.

Bottom right: Lawrence Devereux. He's an old and wise F-102 Delta Dagger who saw service in Vietnam. He's the manager of Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, and is the type of plane who'd die for those he loved.

They're not related. Lawrence is his stepfather.

I'd chill out with almost all of them...

.... except Baxter who makes himself a perfect target for a nasty prank er... laser-guided karma. And also a perfect target for a falling Piano of Doom.

Of course Baxter's a no-go. He's the type of guy who goes to great lengths to get what he wants, even if that means hurting others. As for the others, well, they're just fine.

The idea of having a Sea Dart character came from when I went to the air museum located in Lakeland, where the story is based. On display there they have a Sea Dart, painted as it would've been. The Sea Dart on display inspired Ken's character. Also in Lakeland on display is a Boeing 727, which inspired Douglas's character as well.Β

It was really nice. We basically had the place to ourselves and spent an entire afternoon there. For a small museum, there was a lot of great things inside. I especially loved seeing the F2Y and F-14 though as they are two of my most favorite aircraft.

I liked being able to walk around beneath the 727 and the Sea Dart, but the F-14 was also fun to walk around. Recently they placed the gutted cockpit of an MD-83 and 737 on the ground not far from the museum. The MD-83 belonged to a now defunct airline and the plane was repossessed. Only the nose and front section are left, they must've scrapped the rest. The 737 cockpit was placed there within the last few weeks. It has no markings, I don't know anything about it, who owned it or where it came from.

I'm proud of how Douglas came out in the drawing, his lines and curves were the simplist, being an airliner. I think he and Kenneth are likeable characters in general.

In part 3, Nathan learns about Baxter and figures out who Skyfire really is. On top of that, he figures out the terrible thing that Baxter did.

Oh, yes. I thought about the SeaMaster. I based the story in Lakeland because they have a Sea Dart on display along with a 727, which provides a real reference for Douglas and Ken's characters.
Ken met various ships during his life, including battleships Iowa and Wisconsin. They thought he was a funny looking boat, until Ken took off and flew away.

Tulmur95 In reply to Admiral-Frazier [2016-05-19 17:04:37 +0000 UTC]

He was, and so was Wisconsin. One thing Ken loves to do is trick boaters into racing him. He gives them a head start and then flies over them. After flying over them, he comes back around and flies over them one more time at full throttle, just to see their reactions.

I saw a documentary about the SeaMaster. It's an interesting plane, you load the bomb bay from the top and the entire bomb rack rotates so the hull can remain watertight.
