minus-squareHuddaBuddalinkfedilink17•edit-21 year agoThe multi-million dollar jet? Easily replaceable with money. The pilot? That’s a hit. You don’t just trust anyone to fly that jet, you get your best and brightest, your most loyal, the most decorated pilot to fly that plane. In Pokemon terms, you just watched another country permanently delete a shiny Charizard to its own confusion. Edit: Thank you @Akareth!
