“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.

I went to flight school along with middle east pilots. They were predominantly from Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE.

I would never fly any of their airlines. They are not necessarily skilled. They are a caste system of birthright among the privileged or ruling class. A few yes perhaps, but by large no.
