The New Babbage Aethernautical Society

Comment by Aeolus Cleanslate on January 4, 2009 at 5:17pm

Fantastic, Mr Oller! Perhaps we can make the upcoming Airship Regatta the first official Aethernautical Society event?

Indeed sir! I would be greatly honored!

Comment by Capt. Red Llewellyn on January 4, 2009 at 8:09pm

does this include air balloons, as well?

Comment by Kyle Oller on January 4, 2009 at 8:18pm

Indeed Capt. Red, we welcome any steampunk flying craft, and lighter than air craft, being my personal favorite are especially welcome! :)

Wonderful!I've been an interested pilot for some time, mainly participating with the Royal Caledon Air Force. It's good to se a flying group taking off in New Babbage (pun intended)!

I was wondering if a heavier-than-air machine might be suitable. I have an aerial conveyance invented by Messrs Wright that I have been flying for some little while. It is a little underpowered by the infernal explosion engine, but I hope soon to install a compact powerful steam plant that should make a distinct improvement in performance.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be allowed good sir! It an interesting little craft isn't it? And I do agree that you would greatly benefit from installing that steam power plant!

I have a question. I could IM Mr. Cleanslate about specifics but I thought I'd first ask here on the ning.

I'm not sure about participating in the Regatta or being a spectator. I have a small vessel (actually a couple) that I could enter and fly. I'm not a builder and didn't make them; they were purchased. Also, I'm a lousy pilot and am not interested in any competitive aspect of this.

The thing is, my craft are fairly unique. Definitely steampunk. There's a good chance not many have seen them, so simply parading one or both to show them off might be fun.

So, being new in town, I'd appreciate a little feedback. Thanks!

Mr. Mandelbrot, I'm sure that that your crafts will be welcome in the Regatta! The more the merrier I always say!
