“Adventure is worthwhile in itself.” - Amelia Earhart

“But what an adventure!”

“Some journeys are worth more than treasure, man. Sounds like you got a great story out of it!”

- Young Della and Donald in “The First Adventure!”

I saw a documentary about Amelia Earhart that had this picture of her and her Electra and the above quote from her in it, and I immediately knew I had to draw it all with Della and the Cloudslayer/Sunchaser. It was a lot of fun - felt like an artistic adventure itself! 😄

Original pic of Amelia and her Electra below the cut!

I honestly cannot get over Launchpad calling the propeller, "Spinny Boy."

Hey @suspendersofdisbelief is this what you had in mind when thinking of your Ducktales-themed ride Soarin’ Over Duckburg? 

Launchpad version:

Greets his passengers while already flying in the air.

Has a run-in with the sky pirates. The ride has the feeling of dipping down when Launchpad runs out onto the wing of the plane to join the fight before heading back for the controls.

The end of the ride is when you feel the sensation of Launchpad crashing the plane in the water near the docks of Duckburg.  

Della version:

Greets her passengers while still on the runway.

Has a run-in with Zeus. The ride begins to swerve as Della tries to dodge his lightning bolts, and if she can’t, has the feeling of being struck by one.

The end of ride is when the plane lands back on the runway near the hangar while covered in scorch marks from the encounter with Zeus.

Bonus: There can be a set schedule for the ride during the day for when it is Launchpad’s or Della’s turn for flying the plane.
