Huh…

Looks like that image specifically is from a fan-made version of Phase II, but yeah you’re spot-on.

I knew about Phase II, and that elements of it were merged into TMP and TNG, but I only remembered the triangular Enterprise concept that was later the basis of Discovery.

This all sent me down a rabbit hole where I learned things like Xon (originally a replacement for Spock) became Saavik, and Decker and Ilia were the basis for Riker and Troi.

Thanks!

That’s the built in leaf blower to make sure that the runway is clear for autumn landings. Most airports have their own de-leafing crews, but not all of them.

They were mandated to be installed after a string of landing crashes in the 90s got people making “fall” jokes too often, which upset the FAA.

The cocktail, not the antibiotic. But it will cure what ails you…
