Takeoff

Erica - This is Pantsu Bravo Milkshake to Sexy Echo Mille-feuille, you are cleared for takeoff; have a good flight.
Trude - What the hell are you doing, Hartmann?! Are those my panties on your head? Put it back!
Erica - Negative on that, Sexy Echo Mille-feuille. Go kick some Neuroi ass for me, I'll keep your panties warm. <3

Despite the lack of catapults on the base due to them being completely unecessary, Catapult Officer Erica "Pantsu Bravo Milkshake" Hartmann feels that it's her duty to make sure all of her comrades reach the skies safely.

I was watching a video of planes taking off from aircraft carriers, and I absolutely love the "pose" that Catapult Officers strike when they give the order to launch a plane.
I love Hartmann's pose, and I'm surprised that I managed to draw Trude correctly. Strikers are so hard to draw, ugh.
And don't even get me started on backgrounds. Someone teach/kill me
