Can we just take a moment to appreciate all things related to airplanes?

All these simple and natural elements of physics from the air frames, to the engines, to the avionics, that just weave this amazing tapestry that allows a nearly 1 million pound plane to leave the ground and soar through the sky.

And it’s all the same physics whether you’re flying a J3 Cub or a 747-800. The only difference is the number of threads in the tapestry.

Get me high, baby!
