Do we know the lifespan of adorable cobras? Nick rescued the lot who lived in Annex One when Moustachio went on his rampage, but these are clearly a different set. Alfie is 13 in cobra years, but much less time has passed in human years.
Nope, it was established that this is the same set. Alfie also seems to be 13 in human years, as the Cobras don’t understand the concept of teenagers well enough to set up a cobra year/human year ratio. http://skin-horse.com/comic/far-he/
She built Nick, she is also obsesed with craftmanship of course he would be built with the best parts and an advanced design,so she would know what he sounds like like How I know the sound of my Dad’s pickup.
Technically it’s not a helicopter, it’s a V/STOL aircraft (vertical/short take-off and landing), like the Harrier AV-8 jump jet. I understand the Harrier is perhaps the loudest aircraft ever, but I’ve never heard one.
Correct that it is not a helicopter, nor does it have helicopter engines. RR helicopter engines are the M250 series. It’s a V-22 Osprey powered by 2 AE1107C Turboshaft engines. We had one from the marines visit the plant in downtown Indy last year.
And the loudest aircraft ever would probably be the XF-84H, or “Thunderscreech.”
Beat me to it. The Thunderscreech was the loudest _fighter_. Aside from a 6000 SHP turbine engine, during ground runups the propellor tips would go supersonic, pummelling the ground crews with thousands of miniature sonic booms. Standard hearing protectors were irrelevant.
There’s a Russian turboprop bomber turned reconnaissance plane which is supposedly louder, according to pilots who have flown intercepts against it.
I think it just LOOKS more helicoptery than planey to most people. Osprey is to helicopter as peanut is to nut- ie, technically it isn’t one, but it’s usually less confusing to pretend it is.
[edit: PLEASE don’t start a flamewar about nuts here…]
If anyone out there could recognize Nick from a glimpse and a sound it’d be Virginia. She had to have modified that thing extensively before she “improved” it by shlorping out Nick’s brain and installing it. Besides, she’s fond of him, something between “friend” but not “friend with benefits.”
If snakes have legs, then we’re reading the wrong comic strip.
I was thinking of it more as a body stocking, which is a much more marketable term than a “bodying,” now that I think about it.
Well, that’s one way to get through Alfie’s broody adolescent facade…
Hugs for Nick? He deserves a few, especially from Ginny.
Awwwww…. even protogoths need hugs sometimes!

How can she be sure it’s Nick? The helicopter Mr. Green was flying into Carbondale on looked like an identical model…
Then again, she could be friends with some *other* helicopter…
Umm, what? Mr. Green’s helicopter looked like a normal helicopter, something like a Bell 206. Nick doesn’t look remotely similar.

Errrr, the TU-95 “Bear” is generally agreed to be the loudest aircraft.
EVER.

You mean how a peanut grows as part of the roots, like a potato, and not from a flower, like a true nut?
Nah! No one Here would go all flamie on that. (blink! blink!)
It’s simple.
Peanuts are roots.
Almonds are former flowers.
Walnuts are alien brains.
Actually, peanuts are legumes, like peas or beans. It just happens that the seed pod develops underground.

All the while thinking Alfie was wearing a tube sock.
Now I see that it’s a legging.
I feel much better.

Or perhaps a snake snood.

“Hugs, please…” Scared, and he hasn’t even spoken to Nick yet…
Seems to me the real danger might be that they’ll get on well together….
Ever since Moustachio had a fond recollection of Plasma Adam, the URL story has been AWOL. No wonder Sweetheart doesn’t want to talk about PA.
