Have these guys never been to an airport? There are trucks like this all over the tarmac.
How do you move the planes around if the entire tarmac is filled with these? Seems a little impractical.
A port made entirely of air? Who do you think I am, some kind of idiot?!
No, it's Japanese so the port side is on the right.
Fun fact! The literal translation of airport in Japanese is 'sky harbour'
In Afrikaans too. Probably in a lot of languages
Introducing the new Apple AirPort
That's what I'm calling vents from now on
How hot are your apples getting?
I'd estimate they've reached 3, maybe as high as 4.
I think you are thinking of belt loaders, which have a long flat bed on them.
Except, BAM - it’s not a flat bed, it’s a moving conveyor belt that is raised to carry the bags and cargo from those carts into the plane.
Unless you’re thinking of something else. But I think you’re thinking of something like this:
Or, it's a self unloading flat bed ;)
Sometimes you come up with a genius idea only to realize you've reinvented the train.
Honestly take these as wins. Clearly it was a good idea.

I thought I invented the word "tragicomedy"
The Germans invented it first, with 'tragikkomeßdykompenbursteißn' *
*disclaimer: not 100% sure
I love the joke, but there is actually a German word for this: Tragikomödie.
It is a compound noun formed by combining Tragödie (tragedy) and Komödie (comedy).
This term was notably used in German Romanticism and later in 20th-century drama (for example like Brecht or Dürrenmatt) to describe works that refuse to fit neatly into a single emotional category.
It's apparently attested since at least the 2nd century BCE; Roman playwright Plautus is usually credited with coining the term.
Adam Something, is that you?
Convergent evolution
Hmm, makes sense.
You'd need a long bed to transport the planes.
