It's been a wild couple of days, so i haven't had the time to stop and post these. I went to the Museum of Flight with my partner on Sunday.

I was absolutely obsessed with the Concorde (sorry, Brits, the French are right on the definite article issue) as a child. I was 11 when they retired these birds and while, by that time, I knew that I'd never be able to afford to fly on them (let alone become a pilot on them) I was absolutely devastated. The Concorde is, unequivocally, the most beautiful machine I have ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on.

I found out just last week that the Concorde at The Museum of Flight (G-BOAG, line number 214) was not only in Seattle, but open for walkthrough.

I kind of Mister-Magoo'd my way into a vacation that started last week, and with nothing else to do, I organized a quick day trip with my sweetie, with this as the main event.

We blocked out about 4 hours at the museum, saving the Concorde for the last few minutes. It was, unfortunately, a rush at the end, as we had to make our way back to the bus stop quickly in order to get to King Street Station to catch our train back to Portland, but it was a truly magical moment. As I paused at the cabin entrance to lay my hand on this magnificent elder stateswoman of aviation, something inside of me opened up.

The dream of the small child I still carry with me, made real. The communion with this glorious machine, that carried people not only above the clouds but beyond the speed of sound. That wholeheartedly embodied the midcentury, postwar optimism of science and technology, an optimism I once shared but have since soured on. It affected me.

She's real, and I have known her in the only way I can.

Once upon a time, in a country not so far away, there was a unnatural mother who decided her children were not that important. So she left her children behind and immigrated to the U.S. on her daughter’s fourth birthday. Her daughter spent her childhood shouting to the airplanes in the sky “Avión tráeme a mi mama!” but they never did bring her mother to her. The end.

Nekoma Plane HCs

Kuroo: In the airport he goes full micromanaging-dad mode, the type to arrive 3 hours early and constantly make everyone double-check their passport. Hurries everyone along like they're a pack of baby ducklings. On the plane itself he just watches downloaded videos or sleeps (he mellows out once they're safely on board).  

Kai: Pops a melatonin and passes out for the entire flight, he’s not dealing with any of that. Brings a neck pillow, eye mask, and blanket, then sleeps sitting straight up like a corpse. Don’t bother him. He needs this.  

Yaku: We've all seen timeskip Yaku, bro flies business whenever he gets the chance (probably first class after going pro). Gold member for multiple airlines, frequent flyer fiend, has never waited more than 10 minutes in the terminal because he's always at the lounge.

Kenma: Hates the airport with a passion but doesn’t mind long plane rides, he ends up doing the same shit he’d be doing at home anyways. Spends the entire flight under a blanket playing his PS Vita. If he gets bored of his own stuff he’ll comb through the in-flight entertainment games getting high scores just because he can.

Tora: Idk he strikes me as a pretty standard flyer. He grumbles about it but he’ll pop on a movie, sleep a bit, and everything’s chill. The only “weird” thing I can see him doing is ordering unholy amounts of in-flight snacks without realizing it costs extra, then getting slapped with the bill and whining about it to the team for days.

Fukunaga: Rawdogs the flight like a champ, he’ll stare out the window for hours on end without headphones or any other form of entertainment. Tora’s convinced he has entire movies memorized in his head cause he barely even blinks. Or he’s just possessed. 

Lev: On the one hand he hates flying cause there’s never enough legroom, everyone hates sitting in front of him cause he pokes his feet under your chair into your space. On the other hand he never gets bored of the in-flight entertainment, he does literally everything he possibly can. The only person ever who actually uses the music function instead of listening to his own shit, just for the novelty of it.

Inuoka: The antsiest flier you’ll ever meet, he hates planes cause they’re so boringgggg. The type to wander the aisles until a flight attendant tells him to sit down. Give him the window seat or he'll climb over you to look outside.

Shibayama: Incredibly anxious flier, he’s convinced they’re all gonna die. Watches the safety video with his full attention and reads the information card in the seat pocket, even checks for the life vest under the seat. Grips the armrests for dear life during take off.

Teshiro: Also convinced they’re gonna die but he’s accepted it. Stares straight ahead and listens to podcasts the entire flight.

POV: You are incredibly wealthy and about to have the shits at twice the speed of sound, which is not a metaphor.
