Lmao if a Boeing plane made from scrap parts ends up being the end of Trump it would be really really funny.

They're intentionally blocking the whistleblower suits against Boeing right now because they have been using scrap parts in their planes for decades in order to meet rushed delivery deadlines.

I hope Trump is on that new plane by next year please lord

Soon to be known as “Air Farce One”.

Hopefully they’ll be banned from all the airspace over developed countries.

‘Con Air’

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The mental image of Phony Stark and Orange Patriot flying around on Air Farce One makes me think somebody should make a Spaceballs-esque show about this administration.

[–] Zip2 4 points 11 hours ago

Wouldn’t that just be a documentary though?

Make the new Air Force One the fabled and promised point to point Starship+Booster that's gonna make all passenger aviation obsolete any minute now.

Please.

Please Ms Shotwell, you promised you'd be able to fully and safely refurb an ICBM in 2 hrs, please!

Be sure to ask for the ejection seat tech that Boeing's been testing on its 737s.

This is like Tom (from Jerry) working together with the Coyote (from road runner) to try and get air force one replacements available.

To be clear: musk has nearly no engineering knowledge, whatsoever. He was fired for incompetence and literally all his idea are laughably stupid. At best he's a scammer who got lucky.

Boeing is a company that allowed greed to fuck it into the ground, literally, multiple times, killing hundreds for which they still haven't been held responsible.

Having said all that, please, by all means, I'd love to see the result of this freakshow marriage

Flying this administration around on planes “rushed” by Boeing sounds like it might be our best chance at deposing these fucktards…

I get what you're saying, but I'd trust anything Tom and Wile E. Coyote got from Acme over whatever Boeing is putting out these days

Lol they're just gonna blame "ANTIFA" and vance declares martial law

I didn't normally pray. But.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Praying won't help. Unless...

“A ‘tragedy’ struck today as the Boeing-Tesla Air Force One and Air Force Two simultaneously rerouted to crash into the headquarters of Boeing and Tesla. The planes were running on Tesla ‘full self flying’ and staffed entirely with Tesla robots piloted remotely by human operators on the ground, so when they exploded only the president, vice president, and their advisors and guests (including Tesla CEO Elon Musk) were killed.”

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I support this. And while we're at it, why not give them a cybersubmarine too?

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

How about we tell the cheeto that the first person to touch the wreck of the Titanic gets dibs over all the priceless bottles of champagne, and the secret gold. Plus, international bragging rights. But you have to physically touch it to count, per maritime law. That's why James Cameron and Oceangate were trying to get down there.

Tell him Elon can probably build him a sub he can stick his arm out of. And once it's claimed, it's possible to raise and restore it, and he can rename it the Trumptanic. The largest and most luxurious liner in the world. Imagine how it would look pulling into harbor in North Korea.

Can we all talk of the true tragedy which is the onion going out of business due to real articles being unbelievable satire.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

Yeah! How the hell is the union supposed to compete with reality?

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 87 points 1 day ago (5 children)

They need to join forces and make the Cyberplane!

The Boeing Tesla Cyberplane could be a revolution in aviation:

  • First aircraft to use afterburners to overcome lack of aerodynamics
  • Heavy and yet strangely flimsy construction
  • Cell phones and radar can ignite the battery in flight
  • Fuel efficiency can be throttled mid air by shedding parts

Don't forget rusting as soon as it hits a cloud.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

On your first point, the F4 Phantom (aka "the triumph of thrust over aerodynamics") would like a word.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago

Relevant comic?

[–] yngmnwntr@lemmy.ml 8 points 18 hours ago

Remember Elon Musk in Iron Man 2? Phony Stark pitching an electric plane to Tony who says basically, "it's your idea but we'll make it work."

[–] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago

Piloted using a wireless Logitech controller

[–] shoulderoforion@fedia.io 111 points 1 day ago (4 children)

when one door closes ........

[–] demonmittenhands@lemmy.world 96 points 1 day ago

This is Boeing, the doors don't really close lol

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 day ago

… another blows out at 20,000 ft?

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 34 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It stays closed and locks you in while the battery ignites.

It'd be a shame if there was a critical malfunction in flight.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It would not be shame, it would be a natural consequence.

"Defence". They trust "defence"/planes to Elon Musk, to Russia's puppet. Oh shit... I think Boeing airplanes' security will decrease lol.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought he wanted to reduce spending. This seems like a very expensive endeavor.

[–] GenosseFlosse@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

Boing can save a lot of money by eliminating quality control, safety procedures and firing all the expensive and experienced workers, and staff the operation by minimum wage workers.

I wonder what will happen. Will the doors fly off, or will it catch fire by itself. Hopefully both. And soon.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Boeing: Oh, you want a plane now? No problem. We thought you wanted one that actually flew
