When toys are too realistic

Waiting tonight in SJC for my (late) flight, I wandered into the gift shop and found 'plush' toy airplanes that you could squeeze for 'realistic airplane noises'.

I left after a while, because as far as I could tell, the intent of the toy was to replicate all the noises, in real time, from push-back until take-off (or later).

The noise of an airplane taxiing is not actually very interesting.

How could you not buy such a fabulous toy? ARVP* is a megafind! The cognoscenti would think that they could only get such a fabulous and exotic thing in Japan. I never thought that SJC would be on a par, toy wise, with NRT.

Perhaps you could get it after your return flight. I'm sure that Nathan would love it! Meredith too!

Make sure that your seatbacks and tray tables are in their upright and locked position. Have a good flight.

Fly me, I'm....
