A man is trying to board a plane at the airport. Outside is a very old plane.
There is an old, flimsy plane on the runway with other planes.
Why is such an old plane on the runway along with commercial airliners?
It’s only a 12 second flight.

The wright brother's plane, depicted at this modern airport, famously first flew for only 12 seconds. The idea that the modern commercial airline would be running this flight for business travelers like the man with the suitcase is funny. Usually short flights are good because you get to your destination faster, but the 12 second flight here won't get the man anywhere.
