Midbury JE Fireball

975 FlyHigh  6.7 years ago

In 1952, manufacturer Midbury created a miracle: the first commercial jet plane. The Fireball was to eliminate all of Midburys rivals like Newland, which did not have jet planes. However, instead of breaking records, the Fireballs were breaking themselves. Newspapers couldnt even bother to write about a crashed Fireball, since this was a weekly event. Turboprops like the Super Stargazer still ruled the sky, and eventually Midbury stopped the Fireball project in favor of the infamous 6E. Fortunately, the Fireballs all got happy new lives as attractions in theme parks. The Furious Fireball for example is still the favorite ride in Jollyland, probably because the Fireball fits the theme so well: an attraction that climbs high up and goes down very fast.
