Remember, not talking about the airships (which visibly remain in frequent use, being deployed by pretty much everyone). Talking about planes.


These are clearly not outdated.

[Neonivek]

It is possible that they are just not maneuverable enough...

Though the major reason can also be that the Avatar universe somewhat lacks the kind of weaponry a airplane would require.

[10ebbor10]

Unfortunately, they've been shown to be sufficiently maneuverable, and equipped with effective weaponry in the first and second season.

[Glowcat]

Personally I wouldn't want to be in a small aircraft when going up against avatar-state airbending.

[Zangi]

Wouldn't want to be in one... versus any airbenders.  It may just be too easy to be blown way off course... toward a solid object. 

Though, any air force is fine as long as the enemy does not have airbenders.

[10ebbor10]

The airbenders are, by their own volition, a nation of pacifists. Obviously less so than they used to be in the past, but still.

[Zangi]

In this particular conflict, the airbenders are against the main antagonists.

But yea, it would stand to reason that any future conflicts without any of the airbenders taking part would do well to have an air force.  At the least, they'll develop some sort of turreted flak cannons to deal with airbenders if they do take part in a future conflict.

[10ebbor10]

On a side note, I'm not so certain that the planes would be an inferior choice against air benders. You can put benders inside the plane, which can make those planes very versatile.

Yeah, Mako and Bolin did some serious damage in the S2 finale while riding on the wings.

 Huh so the ending wasn't significant

The whole time Korra was just doing a booty call.

I guess that can be considered better then mutual respect

[Putnam]

are you really suggesting that romantic relationships can't involve mutual respect, admiration, and family?

like, just because it's romantic don't mean it has to be all lusty

[Neonivek]

Depends if you watched the show or not or absorbed a few of its themes.

It isn't a show that sort of believes in whirlwind romances.

[Glowcat]

I guess Mako's mutual respect and admiration with Korra doesn't count either. Or the message about finding healthy relationships that work for all parties.
