the problem with the 'skyking' stuff is theres no tacit acknowledgement that this was ultimately a comic and pathetic act, if heroic in its own way

I don't see the lack of Comedy in the responses, quite the opposite. But people also see the Tragedy and that is what resonates. SkyKing gave us the ultimate spectacle in the current year. An act of pure performance with his very life as the punchline. imo

nah, my honest impression was of an act of powerful beauty. the only laughter i derived was from joy. human flight always smacks of freedom. this stuff about anachronisms feels more dishonest to me, like a baudrillardian copy of a copy distancing manoeuvre. beauty is timeless.
