"MEN! It's very difficult to locate a Spitfire with searchlights, so for the purposes of the training exercise, both the searchlights and the Spitfire are immovable."

Pilot: "And when I pull back on this stick, instead of the tailplane pointing the nose high in the air, those two big discs in the side of the wind-tunnel rotate the plane, and there's a really clever invention called MCAS that makes them stop before it rotates too far.... Ooops, where's he gone?"
