FunkyPilot Academy is Going Public! Meet Our Newest Aviators!

Exciting news for FunkyPilot Academy fans—we’re going public! No, we’re not hitting the stock exchange, but we’re introducing classic public domain characters into the world of aviation!

Meet the New Public Domain Aviators

In our latest two-page comic short, we introduce legendary characters with an aviation twist, showing readers the magic of public domain storytelling. Get ready to meet:

• Winnie the Wings – Inspired by Winnie the Pooh, this bear trades honey jars for headwinds as he learns about flight!
• Captain Steamwheel – Our take on Steamboat Willie, this classic character embraces the golden age of aviation.
• Wingman Tintin – Modeled after Tintin, this young adventurer takes to the skies as an aspiring aviator.
• Jetpaw – Based on Snowy, Tintin’s loyal dog, Jetpaw is always ready for an airborne adventure.
• Airman Propeye – Inspired by Popeye the Sailor Man, but now a skybound hero who gets his strength from good aerodynamics (and maybe a little spinach)!
• Pino Jet – A high-flying take on Pinocchio, this wooden boy dreams of becoming a real pilot.

Why Public Domain Matters in Aviation

Public domain materials allow creativity to soar, just like aviation itself. The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) places all of its manuals in the public domain, meaning pilots, students, and aviation enthusiasts can access essential flight training materials for free. Open knowledge keeps aviation safe and accessible to everyone.

By embracing public domain characters in FunkyPilot Academy, we’re blending classic storytelling with aviation education, showing how open content fuels both entertainment and learning.

Exclusive Access for Premium Members

The full two-page comic short is available exclusively for FunkyPilot Academy premium members! If you’re a subscriber, you’ll get early access to this exciting adventure, plus more exclusive aviation content in the future.
