There's some fun stuff on here.

Cool... Buck Rogers and The Rocketeer meet the "Steam Punk" movement... My GOD would Norman Bel Geddes be proud!

Anything with anti-grav and death rays has to be good.

The guy is not only a great artist, but he has a sharp sense of humor. The sample business cards for rocket pilots list some of the addresses in towns like Smoking Craters, Ohio, and there's a business card for an awfully sexy space pirate named Bonnie Scarlet... her home is listed as "The Good Ship Revenge". His newspaper article lists such activities as The Society of Demented Research Technicians, and that they're about to bestow their yearly award... called "The Igor".

Thanks for a great find Gump... this guy's work has just made my day. I totally just sent the artist a major congratulatory e-mail and thanked him for a fantastic website.

I wonder if that unit uses a Yoyodyne propulsion system?

No, it uses the Turbo Encabulator, which has just recently been declassified. Search youtube for Turbo Encabulator if it has not already been leaked to previous discussions on this website.

Up till recently, it had been impossible to power small vehicles efficiently with a Turbo Encabulator... but with the recent availability of Unobtanium coming out of former Iron Curtain countries, tremendous advances have been made. Encabulation rates in excess of seven Bits per Second (7BS) have been claimed, but most experts say that that would just be too much BS for a real-world situation.

The Yoyodyne is more than a decade old so the new system may be an improvement, but even with the new system remember; no matter where you go, there you are.
