	Then why'd you include the stupid plane (sorry, the name 
KnightWing just grates something _awful_)

Why *not* have that plane?  Beside, they already had an missile firing
prop-driven aircraft of some sort in BGC.  (is it a helocopter or a plane?
ADP had them too).

	Like I said, the plane is not half as bad as the name (few U.S. 
comics get _that_ corny these days)
	BTW, is the name KnightWing canon, or did it just get adopted by 
Fanfic writers somewhere along the line.

OK, granted, KnightWing *is* pretty corny.  But it's also canon: the one
place I can think of offhand where it is used is when Sylia refers to the
KnightWing's sensors during the attack run on the boomer rebellion in Crash 3.

Fanfic writers *do* come up with some interesting names for things though.
Who came up with "The Canyons" to refer to the rift down the middle of Tokyo
(from the Kanto Earthquake of 2025)?  I've seen that mentioned by different
people in several stories (including mine).

Of course, I've also seen that same feature referred to as "The Great
Crack".  IMO that brings the entirely wrong image to mind <g>
