A pair of biplanes with wingwalkers at the Blackpool Airshow 2022. You will have to use a bit of imagination to recognise the wingwalkers.

i was recently thinking about a woman my family knew a while ago, and her story just stuck with me for some reason. so, i wrote it out. big paragraph incoming !

Once there was a stunt pilot who flew planes and had wing walkers walk atop them. One day, his current wing walker had to leave the business. So he found an ambitious girl, who had never walked the wings before but she thought she might as well try. So they strapped her onto the plane and she stood, almost hesitant at first, on the wing. He flew her for close to only ten minutes, but she felt as though she had been there for a long time, and yet only a few seconds. When they made it back to the ground, she told them “if that is all it is, I won't do it. It's too easy and too boring”. So they put her back on the wing and explained to her what she’d really have to do.

And when she was on the wing, far up in the air, she grinned, arms outstretched, hugging the sky; Hugging the clouds. She felt weightless on the wing of the plane. She smiled at her pilot when they landed, and took the job as his wing walker.

And,after a while, she fell in love with him. The pilot of the plane she stood on. And then, three years later they were married, and it stayed that way for sixty years. Even after her age prevented her from stepping out onto the wings ever again, and his age prevented him from being able to fly. Although she could no longer feel the rush of the wind and hug the sky, she was happy. The wing walker and the pilot, together still.

Until her pilot died. She couldn't step out onto the wings anymore, and he wasn't there to remind her of the rush and the wind and sky from when they were young. She sold their PT-17 Stearman, that they'd had for forever and moved down to Tennessee, where she lived for many years, telling others of her stories about being atop the wings, holding the sky, and remembering feeling like the only girl in the world. Feeling weightless.

But, she never got to hold the sky again.

This is going to sound like a non sequitur but- you know those human conveyer belts at airports? They only move just around walking speed. You step on them and you stop walking, but you're still moving. And you're a human, so you can get tired, so you can appreciate having a machine doing the transportation for you.

But also?

It's fun. I always go out of my way to go on the conveyer belts. You're moving but you're not moving! There's almost a bit of giddiness that comes with the sensation of not moving under your own power, even if it's for an action you're perfectly capable of doing otherwise.

To get back on track, Metal would probably justify the use of another machine in terms of efficiency- by using another engine, he's conserving his own power for when the real fight begins -but I also think it's because he likes to go "wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!" on a rocket even if he'd never admit it.

given the number of times we see metal with some kind of rocket/some other vehicle i’d like to think he unironically likes having something else do the work (flying/going fast/etc) for him sometimes
