Does anybody want to do a plane tournament

#I don’t care how you do it but do it. I need it on a physiological level.

The other day I heard a plane and looked up and instantly thought “the RFDS PC-24! Amazing! I’d love to be on that plane.” And then immediately after my brain just said to no one “sorry, I was just overcome by a wave of intense autism”

Planes my brother saw at the airport:

RAAF C17A Globemaster (A41-210)

This plane was produced by Boeing for the Royal Australian Air Force thirteen years ago. The Globemaster is just over fifty metres long and about as wide, giving it an aspect ratio of around 1:1. It’s used as a strategic heavy lifter, and it can comfortably move as many people as most 737s, or take seventy-five tonnes of freight (on top of its empty weight of 128 tonnes!). To give you a concept, this lovely beast can fit a CH-47 Chinook in her belly. This plane is capable of carrying a large helicopter inside it. For four and a half thousand kilometres.

NASA Gulfstream V (N95NA)

This sleek beauty came to Australia to watch the Starship return to Earth. The landing is cool enough in itself but then we also get graced by this small jet with a very recognisable logo on the tail. This plane is 23 years old, and its usual callsign is NASA 5. This plane has a max range of over 10000 km, and can reach a ceiling of more than 50,000 feet. Since this photo was taken it has now returned to the US (currently in Texas), which it made in three legs.

I am jealous.
