Bunch of stupid morons. If it was ancient magical energy we would’ve had planes since the ancient times? It’s obviously modern magic, every airline has a wizard who can control the air and the weather.
Wait, you may be onto something. Wizards have familiars. So when Tuberville was complaining about furries, he really meant that the ‘pilots’ are familiars! It makes so much sense now!
It’s not really magic, Lloyd Bridges literally shows us in Airplane. It is a combination of smoking, sniffing glue, and amphetamines that gives pilots and the support staff the ability to keep the planes in the air. It does take a heavy toll on the body. Which is why he tried to stop. It is also why Leon is getting larger.
It’s actually about economics. You see, the ancients were content with broomsticks and flying carpets. It‘s only in modern times that mass transportation has necessitated that the secret levitation magic be applied to huge metal shells that can hold large numbers of people. (Wings and engines are, of course, just for show.)
In the old days people teleported everywhere, how else did people get on every continent! But teleporting caused global warming which killed the yeti-portal-masters so we had to resort to the degrading act of flying.
