Comment Re:Trump vs Iran. (Score 1) 184

The president of Iran wasn't quite just a figurehead. Iran has a very unusual political system - an actual kind of democratic republic with a parliament, political parties and separation of powers embedded in a totalitarian theocracy. The president is the head of the government (basically a prime minister) and has the mandate to make decisions regarding non-religious and non-military things. At least that was the case until this war. The old theocracy elites were killed by the USA and the new ones are younger and far more radical. I wouldn't be surprised if they dismantle the civil government and create a second Afghanistan out of Iran.

Electric airplanes are perfect for flight schools - they are much easier to fly than piston engined aircraft and are far cheaper to operate. The range is not important for that.

And by the way, i seriously doubt that you are important enough for anyone to go out of their way to impress you. Certainly not for an aircraft manufacturer.
