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
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.

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.
Have you priced that shit lately! Sonsabitches act like they ain’t making it no mo.

if the doors lock to protect the pilots from terrorist attack it is important to give the pilots a way out in case of fire
plus drive thrus
They’re so annoyed when they go out of their way to fly to Chick-fil-A then realize it’s a Sunday.
You mean Chick fil Hates gays?
It’s really for the drive through, clearly
Not exactly roll down. The window opens on a roll lock mechanism that slides inward and then aft.
And the latch to close it has a really satisfying kerthunk
It does.
Gotta love a good kerthunk 😁
Not as much as I love a breeze at 35,000 feet
How else do they pay tolls?
Damn, Airplane missed a gag!
Of course, how else they gonna get their drive-thru Starbucks?
It’s so the cops can see his license and registration for when he’s pulled over.
I was hoping to insert the Airplane! gag, but I can’t find the clip :(
what happened to the internet…
(ignore my spelling)
Fuel prices are really too high to turn on the A/C when flying.
Can’t wait till pilots try fuelmaxxing by coasting.
opening a window will generally use way more gas than using a/c.
I think opening windows on an airplane is generally frowned upon
Not at cruising altitude.
There’s a speed threshold where it flips over, Mythbusters tried it.
So they can step out for a cigarette
Obviously fake. Flag should blow in the opposite direction when the plane flies forward. Though, maybe the image is mirrored.
He’s clearly flying in reverse.
Or perhaps the plane is stopped on the runway
I don’t care if it was 100% safe. I could never id rather not be the opening death in the next final destination

Well when you put it like that I’d rather take my chance with the window
The idea of traveling anywhere near half the speed of mach 1 with a window that opens is terrifying on its face, I will admit.
It’ll certainly blow your hair back

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