Here Comes The Plane

When we were kids, our parents tried to fool us into eating vegetables and other healthy food by doing the “Here-comes-the-plane” antics. This image seems to show a statue reaching for an aircraft.

Travel and Leisure note that most commercial airplanes fly between 33,000 and 42,000 feet in the lower stratosphere. This area is beneficial for airline companies because this saves them money on fuel. Flying at that height, aircraft can glide easily because the thin air provides more fuel efficiency. Plus, these vehicles also require oxygen for the engines, so staying in this spot helps them run smoothly.
