Uh Oh

So on Wednesday, I am flying to Martha’s Vineyard. I have a flight on JetBlue back to the Bean, and then from there, I’m flying for the first time on Cape Air, which travels only to Cape Cod and the Islands. It seemed convenient. So I booked without thinking about it.

Then today, in anticipation of my trip, I decided to see just what kind of airline Cape Air was. And I found this:

I’m sorry, but it looks to me like for that thing to take off, someone has to throw it. And then if you’re lucky, it gets about five seconds in the air before it crashes into the wall of your bedroom.

The motto of Cape Air is “We’re your Wings”, which I guess is fitting, because I’d probably do just as good if I taped cardboard wings to myself and jumped off a building. Seriously, if you hear on the news about some kid getting sucked into the jet turbine of a 747 because he was running down the tarmac at Logan Airport as fast as he could flapping his arms, you’ll know that it was me, and that it happened out of fear.

Also, here is another picture of a Cape Air plane in flight, presumably on its way to a gay pirate’s convention or something.
