   No idea about the silly Flesh Gordon, but in most versions of Flash   
   Gordon, once he got to Mongo he coudln't get back for one reason or   
   another and was basically stuck on the planet battling against Ming and   
   others (in some versions there are "spaceship" battles above the planet,   
   either in space or in the air). In the original version the rocketship is   
   moved along highly visible wires. :)   
      
   There have been hawkmen in different versions of Flash Gordon (as well as   
   two turning up in TV's second season of Buck Rogers). They start off as   
   Flash Gordon's enemies, but later join him to fight Ming.
