They couldn’t land in Australia?
“A circular 9000 mile trip? What is it?”
“A big waste of time, but that’s not important now.”
“Plane Flies For 13 Hours, Lands At Same Airport It Departed From.”
In the 1500s ships used a COMPASS to figure out what direction to go. Surprised that airplane manufacturers never learned anything from them.
Aw, man. That would triple-sick.
I’ve been on 14-hour trips from Dubai to DC several times. (Then Immigration, Customs, and a coffee at Dulles before my Houston connection.) I was always so happy to have that long leg behind me. To have to end up where I started from after that long would be hugely disappointing and frustrating.
Did a dry January. My dreams are much more vivid.
The travel nightmares are coming back...
Sounds like being on an AWACS.
They do that all the time.
“Thank you for flying Emerites 13 hour sightseeing tour flight…have a great day and don’t forget to tell your friends”.
The pilot had one job. One job!
That’s a lot of roasted peanuts!
Hey what a neat scam- sell tickets that post a ‘destination’, but in small print barely legible say “Just kidding, we are gonna circle back a lot and land right where we took off- you will have to buy another ticket if you want off the island”
Yet those island libtards are always complaining about climate change
9000 mile trip to nowhere
Reminds me of Chico Marx’s speech in Night at the Opera, when he was posing as one of the famous aviators.
“The first time we fly to America, we get-a halfway across when we run out of gas. So we gotta go back.” And so on.
Just wait until they ”6uild 6ack 6etter”
