­xkcd thread

Sorta relevant thread from a decade ago:

What's the longest distance any airplane has ever taxied/traveled on land?

See subject query. Yes, that thoroughly inane one. What GQ was invented for.

Here’s a 20yo thread from shortly after I joined.

TLD's 747 Bus Service (Signal Driver)

So I build a runway. A bloody long one. A couple thousand k’s of tarmac across the Australian interior. I take a standard Boeing 747 and drive the bugger along it as fast as I can. In other words, I do not want to take off, so I set the flight control surfaces accordingly, and go nutso with the four Rolls Royce engines. The questions: Is this even possible? How easy/hard would it be for an experienced pilot to do this? How insanely dangerous would it be? What effect would sea level operation…

Should I be concerned that I remembered both my posts and just had to go search up the thread they went into?
