Every day is a golden age of aviation. There are planes flying all over the world every minute of every day. When I hear people complain about life nowadays, I mean we are living in a virtual paradise, a miracle. How could anyone complain about this?

I wish he would have mentioned the number of hours it'd take for said air travel.

I didn't understand the point of this video. I rewatched it 4 times and all I I heard was "Planes, planes, planes".
I learned nothing new.
