Oh, I’m not disagreeing, and I assume that speed was not helping, I just had no idea that it got that cold. I was hoping, if you can call it that, that the incident was due to some freak weather phenomenon
This is why flying is an over-rated super power. It’d be cold and wet and windy and require heavy gear. None of this undies on the outside spandex stuff.
It’s super impractical. Also, how fast are you going to be able to fly? Because at 100km it’s so windy that after an hour you’d be sore from the resistance. It’s more comfortable to drive lol. Probably faster too. It really only has a local use case. Trans Atlantic for example would take days and suck beyond comprehension. Also, it’s boring as hell up there.
I wanna counter your point a bit, like if im the only one flying it would suck. But like imagine if there were oasis in the middle for flying people. You would plan your journey from europe to south asia, sure it would take a week or maybe multiple, buy you’ll be stopping at different towns, meeting the locals and enjoying their food.
Imagine there could be like seasonal migrations when the weather is too cold or too hot. And then there would be nomads, tellong everyone about their nomad lifestyles.
Also, aircraft go far higher than 8000 feet. Crusing altitudes can be more like 20,000 or 30,000

The speed is actually helping keeping their air plane warmer due to aerodynamic heating.

Chronicle is the only “super powers” movie to ever address this. Iron Man did too, but only when it helped the plot.

I suppose. But the discomfort is still a deal breaker
They were warned about problematic weather :(
