With its strong connection to American aviation, Kitty Hawk was the logical choice to become the home of the United States Air and Space Force's orbital missions base in the 1950s. Glen Johnson was among several "spacemen" who on a daily basis launched, orbited the Earth several times, and then landed again.

  • Kitty hawks are awkward creatures by nature. Their large wingspans bely their inexperienced natures, adorably stumbling over their own bodies mid-flight. Unlike most predatory birds, the kitty hawk has poor vision; young kitty hawks are almost blind. The talons of the kitty hawk are sharp and retractable, used to catch fish and tear up sofas later in life. Their beaks are cute and rounded, enabling to make their characteristic 'mee-awk' calls which can be heard for feet around.

Kitty hawks are closely related to kites, in that they have a light frame, can only fly from a running start, and are tethered by a ball of string (which they play with).
