Those magnificent men ... and women ... in their fantastic flying machines

Sprite jam. Ends 14/8 2015.

For inspiration

Inspirational background music: link

Make any flying device (in the broadest possible sense) and/or pilot for a flying device.
You can make

one sprite of the pilot or
one sprite of the flying device, or
one sprite of the flying device and a second sprite of the pilot, or
one sprite with both pilot and flying device.

Did I mention they should be sprites?

Scores for best flying device and for best pilot separately. Highest combined score wins (counting at most scores for one pilot and one flying device per entry).

Entries 14 august 2015 at the latest.

You are cleared for takeoff...

Just a friendly reminder that it is high time to get your magnificent men and fantastic flying machines ready to enter into this jam.
Last day of entry: 14th of August

This picture is NOT an entry, since I'm the host (if that is the correct word) and will be counting the votes

(...and No, I'm not green, ... except when I get really really angry!)

A little something to liven up the competition, can't have people winning by default

Anyone else joining? There's still a couple of days.

Edit: Added a simple 2-frame animation.

If you're referring to my sprite, then I'm guessing it's a coincidence, since I don't have the honor of knowing any bubble-flying Clementine's

Edit: Watched the video and that cartoon does seem vaguely familiar actually, probably saw a few episodes couple of decades ago.

I like the bubble concept! Great fantasy ride.

I humbly present Captain Kealoha aboard his mosquito-class pirate vessel, the Princess Ka'iulani's Revenge. Boat is a Lucasian-spacecraft interpretation of the Hokule'a, a resurrected version of a Polynesian voyaging canoe. Complete with tribal symbology. Captain is me channeling Chris Jones' Tex Murphy schtick! (Yes, I'm actually from Hawaii, and of Hawaiian blood)

Once I get this blasted Neofeud done, this is another potential AGS game in the works, methinks.

PRESENTING DA VINCI'S LOST PLANS FOR
HIS BEARD-DRIVEN HELICOPTER

It seems he would wrap his beard around the main driving shaft and then just throw himself into the air in the hope that it would lift off...

Still one day to go. Any one else?
