Okay, o I'm NOT a fan of Red Impulse/Cronus, and I try not to think about him too much (except to bash him in my fics... see Prom Night and Exercise in Futility as examples) but I DON'T think they gave a name to their jets.

So.... I'd say that you could call them whatever you want.

Now, I wait for James to come tell me that I am wrong.

I love the Rangers/Red Impulse teams!!

I don't recall their jets being named ... I'll leave that to Tats .... But while we're waiting for his input ...

here is an interesting tidbit.

In Japan, they have an aerial acrobatic team called "Blue Impusle"


Japanese Flyboys

Paint it red and put some funky teeth decals and viola! Red Impuse.

So whatcha think? Did Tatsunoko et al base RI on this team?

maybe it need bigger signs to attract him.

Can you retitle a thread?

Do you know how?

(Sometimes I feel like such a newbie)

Hi all,

Actually, my lack of response to this post has had more to do with having a cold and needing to get more sleep instead of trying to write a coherent reply. So, if this seems disjointed, that's why.

For Gatchaman, Red Impulse's plane does have a name, not that it ever comes up in the show itself or that it's all that inspired. It is called, simply, "Red Impulse." Not "Red Impulse Fighter Plane" or "Impulse Jets," just "Red Impulse." Boring, huh?

For BotP, the planes used by Col. Cronus and the other Red Rangers aren't given a name. About the closest we get are that they are referred to as a "Rigan fighter," which is meant more as a descriptive reference than a name.

I hope this helps! Now, back to bed...

James

Thank you for your help!
Can I offer you a hot toddy for the info.?


Now go to sleep and I hope you feel better.
