The arrows are intimidating, but their true power was their magical ability to transform things. For example, in this case they have transformed a high-wing airplane into a low-wing one.

The picture on top comes from my local flight school, I have flown that plane... Are you people stalking me?

You have an amazing flight school

Jokes aside, it was really fun being there. Never flew in full armor or got shot at with arrows but I heard that some decades ago a student flew over a prison and some dumbfuck guard shot a hole in the wing. By the way, Here is their Instagram page. The exact plane is I-CCAB, also affectionately called the tractor.

That plane was an art exhibit wasn't it? Something, something, the primitive versus the modern?

There's a quote that escapes me, some British Empire thing about how can you beat people that would fight a plane (or whatever) with spears and bows, but I see this and I'm just like... Easily?

The plane is fine. Slap some flex seal on it.

You get them to fight each other. That’s how we did it.

I'm impressed the wheels aren't flat
