== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Via his own admission, Launchpad McQuack claims, "If it's got wings, I can crash it". Throughout ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', 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. the reason Scrooge McDuck gives for why he hasn't fired him is that he works for cheap, charging only 1 cent per mile.
** 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. He claims he'll get a free toaster from his insurance company after crossing off a whole column.
** [[Lampshaded]] in ''[[DuckTales the Movie: Treasure of the Lost Lamp]]'', when Launchpad confesses that his flying leasons were a [[Incredibly Lame Pun|crash course]].
