Thunderbirds is a classic British sci-fi TV series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. First airing in 1965, the show features International Rescue, a secret organization that uses advanced vehicles and technology to save lives. The team is led by Jeff Tracy and his sons, each piloting one of the iconic Thunderbird machines, including space-faring Thunderbird 3 and submarine Thunderbird 4. Set in the 2060s, the series combines action, adventure, and innovative "Supermarionation" puppetry. Its dramatic rescue missions, memorable characters like Lady Penelope and Parker, and timeless design have earned Thunderbirds a lasting legacy in pop culture. "Thunderbirds are go!"

Thunderbird 1, the spearhead craft of International Rescue, is piloted by Scott Tracy, the eldest of the five Tracy brothers. At 115 feet long and bearing a wing span of 80 feet, the rocket-powered Thunderbird 1 is sleek and fast with a top speed in excess of 15,000 miles per hour. Though armed and carrying its own rescue equipment aboard, the principal role of Thunderbird 1 is to get to the danger zone as soon as possible, enabling Scott to assess the situation, advise on specialist equipment required and then direct the rescue operation. Scott can then oversee the rescue either onboard Thunderbird 1 or from the Mobile Control Console which forms an essential part of his equipment. In addition to his Thunderbird 1 duties, Scott often co-pilots Thunderbird 3 with his brother Alan and whenever his father Jeff is absent, Scott’s seniority places him in command of the island headquarters International Rescue calls home.

Thunderbird 3 is International Rescue’s space rocket piloted by astronaut Alan Tracy. The blond-haired, baby-faced astronaut and champion race driver is utterly dedicated to International Rescue, meeting his tremendous responsibilities with a maturity that belies his years as the youngest brother in the Tracy family. TB3 is the tallest vehicle in the International Rescue fleet, measuring 200 feet in height. Launched from its concealed hanger beneath the Tracy Island Round House, the rocket is used for all space rescues and also acts as a link to Thunderbird 5. Two crew members are required, usually meaning Scott will accompany Alan as co-pilot. Apart from piloting Thunderbird 3, Alan also assists his brother John by taking turns at manning the Thunderbird 5 space station.
