After lift off, it’s just you and the aircraft.

I mean, there are other passengers seated throughout the fuselage, but the fuel truck is disconnected, luggage tractor is loading another airplane, and the mechanics are pulling the wires from another future flying piece of metal.

And here you are, wheels up and up in the air. Like the movie and it’s great…

There’s a serene moment after that point of lift off when the aircraft rises above land, pressing your buttocks against the seat as the first bit of turbulence hits before it really gets shaky while elevating through the clouds.

It’s at this point the baby makes the announcement that they’re aware this machine went from a smothered vehicle being loaded with stuff…

…to the most Identified Flying Object of modern society. So I’d be more concerned if there wasn’t a crying baby. Simply because we need the passengers who just can’t even…

So now do you remember The Jetsons?
