    you are “pretty sure”… that flying hundreds of aircraft at the limits of their acceleration and capabilities (to put on a dramatic show for spectators) at hundreds of air shows around the world… uses less fuel than a single private jet flying routine passenger deliveries ?

    press X to doubt

      They’re not flying the jets anywhere near the limit on airshows. For one it’s just not safe for the public. And secondly no one wants to reveal the actual limits to enemies.

      And yes. I think it’s entierly possible. Seeing as she’s taken her jet for a whooping 40 second flight just to get from one side of LA to the other.
