Launchpad McQuack (DuckTales, Darkwing Duck) was born into a family of aviators, and from a young age he was taught to fly planes. He appeared to be talented, but he had a problem with landings. He usually crashlanded. Believing he brought shame to his family, he ran away and spent some years adventuring around the world. Eventually he was hired by Scrooge McDuck, a senior adventurer, as his personal pilot. He settled in Duckburg to be close to his boss. Later he quit and moved to Saint Canard, where he was hired as Darkwing Duck's side-kick, personal pilot and mechanic. He is an experienced adventurer himself, and apparently he is used to working under more experienced and arrogant adventurers. He has followed both of his employers in many of their adventures.
