| Chicken Wings / Web Comic | comment |
Chicken Wings is a webcomic by aviation enthusiasts Michael and Stefan Strassers. It focuses on a small air company Roost Air staffed by anthropomorphic flightless birds. The central characters usually are Giftedly Bad overenthusiastic pilot Chuck and the mechanic Julio, who ends up cleaning the mess. The third employee is a secretary Sally, who ends up doing dispatcher job despite knowing nothing about aviation (or any machinery except coffee maker). The owner is woefully incompetent obese miser Hans. Other characters include clients clueless enough to deal with Roost Air and employees of neighboring (somewhat more efficient) air companies. Most strips are self-contained gags, but occasional storylines may last a few weeks. | |

Tastes Like Chicken | |
| Chicken Wings / Web Comic / int_1825867d | comment |
Tastes Like Chicken: Referenced here. Julio is impressed by Chuck's Halloween costume and tastes the fake blood, to find what he used to make it look so real. The blood tastes like chicken, because Chuck is one, and that's no costume, the injury is real. | |

| Chicken Wings / Web Comic / int_537b29d1 | comment |
Acquainted with Emergency Services: No matter what situation Chuck's ineptitude has gotten him into this time, whoever he calls will immediately guess who is responsible for it. He also “participated” in Civil Air Patrol search and rescue missions. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Chicken Wings / Web Comic / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Strip In The Limelight: Occasionally the focus shifts from the Roost Air staff to a peripheral character like Captain Ed, who usually appears only to contrast the small and large air carriers. This allows to set a strip outside Cessna range. | |

Technobabble: Or just aviation slang. Or technical terms. Or abbreviations and acronyms. Neither Hans, nor Sally would understand anything. Chuck and Julio often (ab)use it, but it creates problems just as often. | |

Myth Arc | |
| Chicken Wings / Web Comic / int_ac7cbf8d | comment |
Myth Arc: Building a Corsairnote Vought F4U Corsair, a WW2 carrier-capable fighter plane probably qualifies. It started in the printed comic, predating the web strips. By the start of the web version in 2009 Chuck had a single piston (out of 18). As of mid-2013 he also has wheels, a canopy, a seat, a fuselage, a rusty toolset and 2 right wingsnote Which would be just fine if a F4U Corsair was a biplane.... | |

Captain Crash | |
| Chicken Wings / Web Comic / int_b5a47148 | comment |
Captain Crash: Chuck. While his crashes are never severe, he constantly makes terrible landings, runs the wingtip into the hangar door, collides with signs on taxiways, and makes other embarrassing mistakes that cause minor damage to Roost Air's trusty C172 that Julio has to fix. | |
