THUNDERBIRD 2

Thunderbird 2, piloted by Virgil Tracy, is the freighter that carries all of International Rescue’s ingenious heavy engineering equipment. With a maximum flying speed of 2,000 miles per hour, Thunderbird 2 is 250 feet long, has a wing span of 180 feet and stands 60 feet high.

The centre section of the vehicle carries one of a selection of six pods, each housing the many different specialised rescue machines used by the International Rescue team: primarily Thunderbird 4, the Mole and the Firefly.

Virgil is always on hand taking part in virtually every daring situation in which International Rescue is involved. Fearless and with an iron resolve, Virgil is also a complex young man who combines physical strength with his gentler side as a gifted artist and pianist.

THUNDERBIRD 4

Thunderbird 4, piloted by aquanaut Gordon Tracy, is a 30-foot-long underwater and sea surface craft. Although much smaller than the other Thunderbirds vehicles and with a limited range, TB4 plays a vital role in any underwater rescue operation.

Gordon is good-natured and high-spirited, possessing a strength and tenacity that makes him a respected leader and commander. He is also one of the world’s fastest freestyle swimmers and a past Olympic champion at the butterfly stroke.
