The mysterious \u201cguest-nialmnj\u201d wrote:<\/strong><br \/>\nNo amount of fancy aeronautical engineering calculations can change the fact that the notion of any vehicle of such vast weight and size actually flying is patently absurd; planes are clearly kept aloft by sorcery and the collective (if misguided) belief of their passengers. This so-called turbulence arises when the faith of some of those passengers falters for a moment.\n<h2>\n\tGulliver lives just a few miles\n\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t.fl-node- h2.vamtam-heading * {\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #2ba9e0 !important;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t<\/h2>\n<h3>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/artofthetattoos?lang=bg\" title=\"@ArlinesTechnologies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t@ArlinesTechnologies\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t.fl-node- h3.vamtam-heading * {\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #1a31af !important;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Gulliver lives just a few miles east of Heathrow on the flight path.

Not because the collective belief of the passengers has failed, but because that of airlines has.<\/p>\n<p>On 14th September, Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced that it would not be renewing the lease on five of its A380s when the ten-year contract expires next year. It said that it has not made a decision on its remaining four leased Airbus jumbos, though there is a good chance that they, too, will be consigned to SIA\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div><!-- .vgblk-rw-wrapper -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adams also came to understand how important it was that his carefully crafted photos were reproduced to best effect. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13446,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/post13.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1525"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1525\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1525"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1525"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mobils.lt\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1525"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
