'''Launchpad McQuack''' is an anthropomorphic pelican.
 
==Description==
 
Launchpad McQuack has been, since 1987, [[Scrooge McDuck]]'s personal airpilot. Launchpad is an extremely talented flyer… except for one little detail, ''the landings''. His allegedly reassuring slogan is: "If it's got wings, I can crash it." But Launchpad, for all his problem, his still a very lovable character and is very good friends with [[Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck]], and also not on bad terms with [[Donald Duck]] himself. Launchpad McQuack has also always been a fan of the mysterious superhero [[Darkwing Duck]]. In 1991, he finally met Darkwing Duck (also discovering his secret identity, [[Drake Mallard]]) and became his sidekick. It is through him that Scrooge and Darkwing eventually met. Finally, Launchpad wears yet another mantle as a low-grading Junior Woodchuck moghol.

===Personality===
Launchpad McQuack was created in 1987 for the ''[[DuckTales]]'' series. The executives had decided to only give [[Donald Duck]] a very small part, writing him out of most episodes (reportedly, this was so as not to outshine Scrooge with his popularity). However, the formula of Scrooge's adventure still required a bumbling father figure to the nephews, hired by Scrooge, to work; this was the reason for Launchpad's creation.

Launchpad McQuack is quite a character. He's extremely naive, somewhat slow, dimwitted, gullible and overall lacks a good deal of common sense. Despite this, he's also incredibly loyal, kind-hearted, and generally a very warm and amicable man. He has a bad habit of crashing every vehicle he drives in, but the silver lining of this is that he's become a very skilled mechanic, able to repair a large variety of vehicles when given the proper tools. Overall, Launchpad is brave, compassionate, dim-witted, and completely unsafe---but also the best friend you could ever hope to have.
