Would You Rather? Duck Plane Edition

topic:

Time-Wasters
Animals

Men and women are faced with countless tough decisions over the course of a lifetime. None, perhaps, are more difficult than those which involve ducks and airplanes. Seriously, get a glass of water, put on your thinking cap, and really work this one over. You never know when you'll have to make a decision like this on the fly.

Would you rather fly in a plane shaped like a duck...

Have a visit from a duck on the wing of a plane...

Or duck under a plane as it narrowly passes overhead?

Please leave your well-reasoned choices in the comments section. If anyone chooses the second one without fully considering the dangers of bird strikes, that is a poorly thought out choice.

Obviously, I'd fly in a giant plane shaped like a duck... and Id use it to fly UP TO another giant, duck shaped plane and try to mount it in mid-air to see if we could produce a smaller, more adorable baby-duck sized airplane.

Duh!

I have to say it, these are both terrific answers. The first one might be a little difficult to pull off, though.

The duck is so obviously a photoshop. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for a duck to be calmly looking around on a plane while in flight. The wind over the wing at speed is going about 500 mph. If you look at the body of the duck, all the feathers are down and normal. If it were in a 500 mph wind, the feathers would be in total disarray. Not only that, THERE IS NO PART OF THE PLANE FOR A DUCK TO HOLD ONTO!!! If it can't get a grip, there's no lee areas on a plane (designers want the plane to get good fuel mileage, so it's SMOOTH. It' looks kewl, but it would NEVER happen. Perhaps if the landscape under the wing were a runway, it's possible for the duck to be there with the plane taxiing around, but that's it. Another thing, the duck is looking at the camera, if it were looking in the window, the angle of the duck itself would be different. It's obviously a shop.

A duck on the wing of a plane? Someone has been watching far too many Bugs Bunny movies (remember the gremlin?).

A plane traveling at 12,000 to 30,000 feet or higher flies through air far too thin and cold to support any life form. And, a bird which weighs just a few pounds would be blown off the wing by the forward motion of the plane through the air. Getting sucked into the nacelles is something not to be even thought of.

Photo Shop anyone? We've all seen the photo of the jet just outside the starboard window of a plane on an intersection course.
