The Avion was a top-secret space shuttle built by NASA. The two crew members were returning back to Earth from the ISS when the calamity occured.

¨Sir, we're entering at the wrong angle!¨

¨Nonsense, Jack¨

¨But sir!¨

¨Just check our position, please.¨

¨Sir, we are headed towards California instead of the Kennedy Space Center.¨

¨Well, good enough.¨

¨Sir, we're headed to uncharted territory in California!¨

¨Impossible, Jack.¨

¨Sir...¨

-Sometime later-

¨Sir, we're nearly at sea level.¨

¨Jack, tell me that isn't a floating mountain...¨

¨What else am I to say sir?¨

¨Jack!¨

¨Well, sir...¨

¨Prepare for landing.¨

¨Yes sir¨

¨Lower the landing gear.¨

¨Affirmative.¨

-Upon landing...-

¨Sir...¨

¨Jack, do you know where we are?¨

¨Um, sir? The radar has gone blank.¨

¨What do you mean?¨

¨And the compass sir, it's broken.¨

¨How?¨

¨The needle isn't attracted by any magnets sir.¨

¨Let's just get past that river.¨

The two astronauts crossed the river and into the Outlands. On the other side, they found not the ferocious plants, but the International San Francisco Airport. The two men were taken to the hospital, and thought crazy.

Laval and Eris were having a nice day. Cragger joined them in the annual Speedor race, and they went for an evening ride. On the way home though, Laval discovered the Avion. He was intrigued, he had never seen a jet of this construction before. This wasn't the first time this happened. Flight 447 had crashed in Chima many years earlier, though the jet was in ruins, and thought to be an old Eagle jet. Flight 538 had crashed into Mount. Cavora, though everyone considered it to be a meteorite. But the Avion was different: it was still in one piece, for the astronauts' miscalculation landed them here. Laval decided that this was his chance to make what he had always dreamed to make: a lion jet.
