In the 37'th Galactic century, the IXIians experienced their Age of Aviation, starting off with rudimentary balloons and winged air vehicles, eventually evolving into the hyper-cool bubble-lightning-fueled, jazz-rhino-piloted turbo-propellered air sedans which provided some of the hippest traveling options in the 3600's. This was a precursor to the IXI Space Age, and such trailblazing aviator icons as Wide-Eyed Elephant Joe and the first air traffic control pig, Steve, went on to become legendary figures in the Aviation Hall of Fame.
