I Want to Go to the Sci-Fi Air Show

By Lev Grossman | @leverus | June 25, 2010 | +

I mostly associate air shows with sad headlines about Blue Angels crashes. No such accidents bedevil the Sci-Fi Air Show, a lovely Photoshop project with the following mission statement:

The SCI-FI AIR SHOW’s purpose is to preserve and promote the rich and varied history of Sci-Fi/fantasy vehicles. Through display and education we seek to celebrate the classic design and beauty of these ships and the rich imaginations that created them. When the cameras stopped rolling, many of these proud old ships were lost and forgotten. Please join us in working to keep these rare and beautiful birds soaring!

Let’s hope they add Serenity next. Or no? Too soon?
