Get Off My Plane is a satire and commentary publication inspired by real aviation news, airline chaos, and high-altitude absurdity. Think of us as the Daily Show for airplane drama — we take real headlines and turn them into sharp satire.
We are not a straight-news publication. Every piece we publish is satirical commentary, grounded in real events but written to make you laugh — not to inform you about breaking developments. If you want straight aviation news, the FAA's website is right there.
What We Publish
We write about real airplane drama: passengers removed from flights, unruly meltdowns caught on TikTok, airlines doing inexplicable things to inexplicable people, and the general miracle of getting hundreds of humans into a pressurized tube at 35,000 feet without everything going sideways. (It usually goes sideways.)
Our articles are satire and parody. We exaggerate. We editorialize. We take a real story and ask: what if we wrote about this the way it felt, rather than the way it happened? The underlying events are real. The treatment is comedy.
How "Inspired By Real News" Works
Every GOMP article starts with a real incident. We link to our sources at the bottom of every piece so you can read the straight version if you want it. We paraphrase — we never lift quotes or passages directly from source reporting. The humor comes from how we frame a story, not from making things up wholesale.
We don't punch down. Passengers experiencing medical emergencies, mental health crises, or discrimination aren't "drama" — they're people having a bad time. We skip those or treat them with appropriate gravity.

The Name
Yes, it's inspired by the 1997 film Air Force One. Yes, Harrison Ford still won't return our calls. We've made peace with this.
Get Off My Plane is not affiliated with the United States government, the United States Air Force, Boeing, Airbus, any airline, or Harrison Ford. We are just people who find airplane drama genuinely, endlessly funny.
