I’m not getting on that…

Having nothing better to do, I got stuck watching a little of a Discovery Channel documentary about the construction of a new Airbus jet. It looked pretty impressive, until the head test pilot said “It’s actually quite easy to fly, almost like a bicycle.” Like a bicycle? I’m not going further than the gate if I see that plane outside – last time I checked, bicycles were as far from easy to fly as anything can be.
