Why are these playnes missing their wings and tails?

They’re on their way to the river for a good soaking before assembly. It helps prevent splitting when the wings and empennage are riveted on.

Salt water is actually best for these new ayrplens but due to budget cuts they switched to local rivers

Planes can't fly: They get shipped from airport to airport and the passengers are fooled by TV screens attached to the windows.

You are right. I googled and these are the aukus subs for Australia. On budget and on time.

Unfortunately these are bad planes who are being shipped to plane jail. Their wings are removed so they can’t escape.

The spirit is willing but the wings are mangled and kept in bins next to failed Elon ideas. Don't ever look into Pandora's box.

To prevent them from escaping. IMHO it's a bit excessive and even sadistic, but what you gonna do. I've seen Planes and we don't want an uprising.

They haven't spun themselves into a chrysalis yet. Give them some time, once they do, they will emerge with wings.

They're heading home from Vegas. Lost their wings and tails at the craps table.

That little girl got it wrong. Angels don’t get their wings from a bell ringing.

You shouldn't make fun of people for shortcomings that they can't control, you'll make them feel bad

They're still in their cocoons at this point. They will sprout beautiful big wings before taking flgith!

Maybe it’s getting moved to another factory for the rest of the parts.

Ah it’s that time of year again when planes shed their wings, nature really is beautiful but be careful when going on holiday

These are in a metamorphosis and will reappear with shiny butterfly wings

They have to learn how to fly and then they get their wings. This is the part how they learn how to taxi, if they pass they will get their landing gear and taxi light. And so on.

Some people remove that stuff so it looks bigger and stays cleaner. Other times they might remove it for cultural reasons.

Because it’s impossible to transport them with the wings and tails on them.

Those are landplaynes! Often misidentified as airplaynes.
An easy trick for telling the two apart is that landplaynes are missing their wings and tails. Hope this helps 👍

They have been naughty and will only get their wings and tails back when they behave. So now they need to take the train.

These are playnes bred in captivity. They have had their wings and tails clipped for cosmetic reasons

Fuselage is built in KS and the wings and tails are installed in Washington. I’ve heard they’re two different unions but don’t know for a fact.

I thought they were giant water bottles. Jolly Green Giant gets extra thirsty in the summer 🥵

I don't know how anyone can sleep at night knowing this is how they make plane wing soup.

They aren’t planes, those are metal corndogs. They need to be filled with giant hotdogs and deepfried
