That’s probably handy if their turn signals quit working. At least they can still signal the old fashioned way!

    Yup. They've got a solid way around running low on blinker fluid.

    Well with the worldwide economy in the tank maybe they ain't. see if you can still get headlight fluid you might be able to iodize it overnight with a left handed screwdriver. Might work as a solid alternative

    Not exactly roll down. The window opens on a roll lock mechanism that slides inward and then aft.

    Fuel prices are really too high to turn on the A/C when flying.

    Can't wait till pilots try fuelmaxxing by coasting.

    Obviously fake. Flag should blow in the opposite direction when the plane flies forward. Though, maybe the image is mirrored.

    I don’t care if it was 100% safe. I could never id rather not be the opening death in the next final destination

    I'm just gonna say aircraft are often made of class D fire materials and if a fire breaks out that fire is often self sustaining. Those windows open so the pilot has an evacuation route in the event they can't leave via the door to the flight deck.

    Planes also have headlights. I only realized that pretty recently when I saw one flying low above me on a cloudy night, with the light projecting out in front. We always see them as points of light in the sky so I assumed their lights were just so they could be seen from the ground.

    Guess the US flight had to wait until all the dangerous fishermen were taken out.
