Trivia[]

  • His name is a pun on "aloft."
  • Al Oft is a reference to the real life "Goodyear" blimps. Rather than the "Goodyear" logo, Al has a logo saying "Lightyear," referencing Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. For some reason, it is unknown why was Al's model not called "Lightyear".
  • His back portion reads "PAS1" as a reference to Pixar Animation Studios.
  • Colin Cowling shares the same model.
