Air travel, for some reason, is a place where people show their true colours. Usually those true colours err on the unwelcome edge of the spectrum of human behaviour: people having a quickie, taking a leak, smelling so bad they need an emergency landing or the air hostess getting drunk herself. Probably enough to make you dread the experience. But it’s not all bad, and finally here is a plane story to act as an antidote.
A choir from Dilworth School decided to re-ignite the joys of flying by singing a pretty damn good rendition of “Come Fly With Me”. The all-boys choir was returning from the Big Sing in Wellington, where they scooped a silver award. And from what the video shows, they definitely have the pipes to have earned it. But not all passengers, it seems, would welcome the intrusion of youthful joy onto their flight.When asked how annoyed he would be if he was on this flight, one Facebook commenter said he “would hijack the plane and fly it into dilworth” himself. Another said “this is why I use Sennheiser's amazing PXC 550 noise cancelling headphones”.So maybe not everyone loves a singalong on their plane, but we can surely all agree it’s an improvement on a urine-soaked neighbour on your Wellington-to-Auckland commute.
