Unless it’s shot down. Can’t do much with a plane that doesn’t fly.

Way to ruin a good quote panda

c:

"The recoil is an example of Newton's Third Law about how every action generates an equal and opposite reaction. In a case of takeoff, the fast air bearing down on the plane generates an upward force on the wings (analogous to a gun's recoil), which helps lift the aircraft." (SEAN O'NEILL, "Why Do Airplanes Take Off Into the Wind?")

Essentially, taking off with the wind would take a longer time and longer runway, as well as making this analogy moot

...yeah I'm fun at parties...why do you ask?
