    I never understood the invisible plane. You can see her while she’s inside it. How is the invisibility especially helpful?

      I’m sure we can make something up that makes sense.

      I guess when it’s parked no one can find it. Also if it’s invisible to radar then she’d just look like a cloud or bird or something.

      Also Superman got to fly on his own, so it’s more…fair if at least her plane is invisible…?

        Ive always wondered if Superman (or any flying tights) would show up on radar. Is a person just too small of an object? Do drones show up on radar?

        I guess i could look that last one up pretty easily if i wasn’t drinking my coffee and just scrolling.

        Ironman popped up on radar in his first movie. I guess metal might make the reflective difference. So maybe the perfect stealth plane would be covered in skin.

          I worked in aviation for a few years. I’ve heard tons of stories about birds showing up on radar. A human size object would absolutely show up.
