“Yah broski, i did honey i shrunk the kids but with a plane”
I assume since it’s the FAA they flew out of Finland to America. America is further south and anyone who has looked at a map knows that things shrink when they are closer to the equator.
Of course. I should have known the answer is just “Finland”
Airsick lowlanders aren’t used to such heights
I had to check. Another year until the next novel. For a dude who is so prodigious, Sanderson lags a bit on his opus.
Too busy writing an entire series of terrible YA space dogfighting.
Firing lines are NOT how you dogfight, Sanderson. That should be how all the child soldiers get blown up by aliens and the protagonist learns they aren’t special.
…
I would like his take on a black powder fantasy series though. Jumping from medieval settings to a Western was a bit jarring.
At no point in Skyward do they dogfight in a firing line. Cobb puts the students in a line to teach them discipline, coordination, and maneuvering. He criticised the teaching style of other instructors who let the students dogfight right away. Cobb believed in hammering in the fundamentals until they were instinct, and only then allowing them to actually fight. This is sensible military doctrine.
Skyward is a great book.
Storms are cold yo, shrinkage to be expected.
