That's one of the easist Trivia questions I've seen. Thunderbird 1 took off like a rocket, but flew more like a jet. It was used to get to the screen of the emergency faster than the other birds could get there. Thunderbird 2 was the cargo transport vehicle. Different mid- sections could be added depending on the emergency. Thunderbird 3 was a rocket ship. It was able to fly into outer space. Thunderbird 4 was a small underwater ship. It was carried in one of the mid-sections of Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 5 was orbiting command station. It kept an ear out for any type of emergency. The Thunderbirds have to be the best marionette show of all times. In fact, does anyone know of any others? Heres a little bit of trivia for you. The Japaneses produce a new cartoon called Thunderbirds: 2080 (did I get the year right?). I have seen about ten different episodes on Select TV in Los Angeles. It has the look of a very typical modern Japanese cartoon. -- Brad Brahms usenet: {decvax,ucbvax}!trwrb!trwspp!brahms arpa: Brahms@USC-ECLC
