Now that you're past the point, my prediction was
Colossus would leap out after Kitty. But it does make
more sense this way. They would not know if Kitty could
survive that fall, and only Nightcrawler had a chance of
saving her.
Good stuff!

Cockrum Blackbird... does this help?

Some kind of black strato-jet. Easy to remember it as the Blackbird.

I think HIDDEN YEARS is very much in play- it’s published canon from a time period that precedes the ELSEWHEN pivot point, which I believe is the moment when Phoenix dies.
And for fans of your work, it’s part of the JB X-Men universe - it would make sense and be a lot of fun to connect it here.

There's an old saying: it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop. Colossus catching Kitty, even if he reverted to human form to do so, would not be much of an improvement on hitting the ground.

Her needing rescue from the fall didn't cross my mind
at first. So I pictured Colossus doing one of those
crater making jumps just to be on the ground with her.
But I see now that they don't know that, and
Nightcrawler was the only one who could be fast enough
to do anything about it.
Liked Colossus reaction on the jet though!

JB, according to the Marvel database, the Blackbird first appeared in 104. I don’t have the issue handy to verify, tho.

...104...••• Nope, that's the Stratojet, described as "last of a set of two." I'm beginning to think the Blackbird was just the Stratojet colored wrong, and somehow that became canon.

Looking at that issue now, I think you’re right, JB.

...
I think you're right. The colorist may have read the copy and decided that was the color.
Also, love that latest page of HIDDEN DAYS!

It’s not an easy life for the Thing, or for mutants who can’t pass for human, like Nightcrawler.••• Which reminds me... Chris and Dave gave Kurt a borrowed SHIELD Image Generator, so he could walk around looking like Errol Flynn, among others. Very quickly it turned into yet another "power" for Nightcrawler, and Shooter, wisely, called an indefinite moratorium on its use.
