Launchpad McQuack
Launchpad has been in two
Disney cartoon series. His first was
in
Ducktales (in my opinion the greatest
Disney show of all time), where he lived in
the town of Duckburg. The second show being
Darkwing Duck, where he lived in the
town of Saint Canard.
Launchpad comes from a family
of pilots, his father was Ripcord, his
mother was Birdie and his sister was Loopy.
They formed The Flying McQuacks before
Launchpad went to work for
Scrooge McDuck.
Launchpad has an old school
style when it comes to outfits; he always
dresses like a 1930s pilot. He wore a
bomber jacket, scarf, and aviator goggles.
Two of his classic quotes are: 'If it has
wings, I can crash it' and 'Any crash you
can walk away from is a good crash'
Launchpad was voiced by
Terence McGovern.
Launchpad has been retired as
a Meet and Greet character at Disney World
unfortunately. But he can still be seen
during special events, so make sure to take
time to get a picture with him if you see
how out around the parks.
