@djab2 I always wondered that... I Guess TB-2 just hovers over it, slowly goes down, pod locks back on... that was my theory when I was a chiled playin with the Matchbox toys...
@MindstormXL 'Fraid not. Thunderbird 4 was a short-range craft. When the military accidentially fired on TB-2 and disabled it. Jeff pulled strings at the Pentagon and had a Navy carrier tow TB-4 to the rescue area- while TB-2 was being repaired- from a pre-designated pick-up point away from the island. Otherwise, it's TB-2 or nothing.

Do you have Thunderbird 4 emergency launch, in case Thunderbird 2 was out of action?
