About: Look Ma, No Plane   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It has been shown in movies again and again that anyone who can fly in an unusual way (whether it be a superpower or just some nifty invention) will fly very close to passenger aircraft, which will either A) annoy those on the plane or B) scare the crap out of those on the plane. Sometimes they'll only be seen by one passenger; usually either a kid who tries in vain to get his parents to look, or a lone alcoholic who stares bemusedly at his miniature of Scotch. A variation is that, if it is a military aircraft instead of a jetliner, the pilot is likely to demand identification and/or attack.

A variation is that, if it is a military aircraft instead of a jetliner, the pilot is likely to demand identification and/or attack. Probably every flying superhero has done it at least once. Female ones occasionally blow kisses at or otherwise flirt with the pilots. Be careful of the plane's engines, though. Examples of Look Ma, No Plane include:
