The American Revolution is like everything that has to do with air travel.

Having to govern colonies far away is to Britain as having parents far away is to air travelers. You might be going somewhere to visit relatives like your parents who haven't controlled you for a long time, but you want and miss their protection so you're going to visit them, but you don't want to stay with them forever because they'll control you too much.

Disputing over land is to the French and Indian War as disputing over keeping hand sanitizer in your carry-on is to baggage checking. The baggage checkers (the British colonists) listen to the airport officials (England) and take away the hand sanitizer(land), even though you (French colonists) are basically right because a bit of hand sanitizer (land) is not a big deal and definitely has no explosives in it, and a tiny piece of land will not make a huge difference in anything.

Losing land by a river is to The Proclamation of 1763 as the airport losing beverage money is to "Airport Water Chugging." You ultimately protect your water. In the end, England (airport officials) suffered a loss because you're now not thirsty so you won't buy water from the airport, but they can do nothing about it. England had to make an imaginary boundary between the French and the British colonists so that they didn't fight over land.

The Stamp Act is to making the colonists pay extra for mailing as airplane security saying your luggage is too heavy is to making the passengers waste money. The Stamp Act made colonists pay extra for mailing and mail was not to be sent if it didn't have a stamp. At the airport, your luggage is not to be put on the plane if it's too heavy and you have to pay for another bag.

Being taxed without a say is to Taxation Without Representation as making you pay small fees without you knowing is to everyday air travel. Both are sneaky ways of making money by the British and the airlines. The colonists don't care about the taxes, as long as they have a say. Travelers don't care about fees, they just want them to be announced in the final cost.

Freedom from the British is to the Sons of Liberty as freedom from airline fees is to the "Mad as Heck About Hidden Fees" group. The Sons of Liberty are fighting for their freedom from taxes and the "Mad as Heck About Hidden Fees" group is fighting against airline fees.

Throwing tea into Boston Harbor is to the Boston Tea Party as people refusing to fly is to the "Mad As Heck About Hidden Fees" group. The Sons of Liberty threw tea into the Boston Harbor to protest the taxation on tea. "Mad As Heck About Hidden Fees" is not buying airplane tickets to protest the hidden fees.

Paul Revere yelling about the British coming is to his Midnight Ride as the pilot saying "We're going to arrive in 30 minutes" is to being on the airplane. They are alike because Paul Revere yelled to warn people about the British coming, while the pilot is warning the passengers about when the plane will land.

The shot fired by the British is to "The Shot Heard 'Round The World" as planes crashing into the twin towers it to 911. The "The Short Heard 'Round The World" was said to be the start of the Revolutionary War and 911 is said to be the start of the Iraq War.

George Washington making a judgement to attack the Hessians in terrible conditions is to "The Battle of Trenton" as Chesley Sullenberger landing in the Hudson is to the Hudson River landing. George Washington and Chesley Sullenberger both made decisions that most people would dissaprove of, but at the end, they were both heroes.
