Interesting observation.

Gliders evolved and Cessna's remained dinosaurs. I think we have
racing to thank for that. Racing improves the breed.


Yeah, but that doesn't account for the fact that the cars in the movie
have evolved too. The single engine airplane (and light twin) world is
still mucking with fuel mixtures, prop speeds, cowl flaps, manual waste
gates, and the like. Gimme a break!
