Me as a plane and a group pic of me and my friends’ aircraft sonas

I chose the Rivet Joint because I love eavesdropping, gossiping, and snitching, but also because I also have a big ass nose, acute hearing, and a lot of antennas (body hair) lol

Introducing Helishark in all its weirdness and cuteness!!! 🦈🚁

I know that this contradicts all the laws of physics, biology 🧬 and who knows what else, BUT I had an idea🍏

In helicopter configuration there was something shark for me. No wonder because their forms were made for aerodynamic (one by human and one by nature). Could we deceive original creator or surpass it? No:) So I’ve just combined both natural and artificial features.

I really don’t know what to write more, so let this art speak for itself…
