Launchdad

Launchdad is the family ship between Gosalyn Mallard and Launchpad McQuack from the Darkwing Duck and DuckTales fandoms.

Darkly Dawns the Duck
As Gosalyn falls, Launchpad swoops in on the Thunderquack. He's then able to catch her on the top. He gives her a smile as she says that it was a nice save. Once inside Gosalyn decides it's payback time and gives the queue to Luanchpad. He says it's no problem and chases the bird that grabbed her earlier.
