* Launchpad McQuack. Throughout ''[[DuckTales]]'', it's a marvel anyone gets in a plane he's piloting. He really is a [[Crippling Overspecialization|very accomplished pilot]], capable of taking off on any surface, flying through any storm, and weaving through any enemy air space, but he can't land without crashing. |

** It's not just planes - in one episode (after he's crashed a ''submarine''), he pulls out a bingo card from his insurance company with pictures of various land, sea and air vehicles and marks it off. Several other types of craft are already crossed out. |

** By the time of ''[[Darkwing Duck (animation)|Darkwing Duck]]'', he seemed to have improved (or forced himself to get better because they only had one plane, as opposed to ''[[DuckTales]]''' never ending supply). He'd crash occasionally, but that was usually due to getting shot down. There were still a lot of jokes and [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to his poor landing skills, but on that show it had become more of an [[Informed Ability|Informed Inability]]. |
