Flying High - Living High

I gave up on planes right after COVID, when there was obviously a hidden side effect that they kept from everyone. Airplanes and air plane terminals seemed to cause mental breakdowns of the passengers, either from exposure to COVID, the shot, or the masks. I don't know, but too many folk went bat poop crazy and I stay as far away from planes and terminals as much as possible.

I wish I could say that all these new air ship designs will change my mind. Nope. Ain't gonna do it. They even have the birth of Elysium. Nope. Ain't gonna do it.

Looks like France is the first to lift off.

Lean green flying machines take wing in Paris, heralding transport revolution. There has been much dreamy and not always credible talk of skies filled with flying and nonpolluting electric taxis

LE BOURGET, France -- Just a dot on the horizon at first, the bug-like and surprisingly quiet electrically-powered craft buzzes over Paris and its traffic snarls, treating its doubtless awestruck passenger to privileged vistas of the Eiffel Tower and the city's signature zinc-grey rooftops before landing him or her with a gentle downward hover. And thus, if all goes to plan, could a new page in aviation history be written.
After years of dreamy and not always credible talk of skies filled with flying, nonpolluting electric taxis, the aviation industry is preparing to deliver a future that it says is now just around the corner.
