God I mourn late 20th century aviation. They had all the coolest shit imaginable and we get twin engine jet, twin engine jet widebody, twin engine jet UXEFUCKYOU-LR. I don’t CARE if it’s more efficient BRING BACK THE SAUCE
Machines that can fly faster than ever thought possible. Carry more than ever before. Why? To get more aid to people closer to when they need it? No. To bomb people faster and harder.
It always pains me that weapons of war are used for war. Like 90% of humanity’s greatest and most beautiful inventions have been built for the purpose of war or perverted for combat. Millions of hours of the greatest minds working together just to kill people. Such a waste.
