It's a remote control plane, duh.

I was really curious about this, and then it hit me, that’s what this picture is of.

The same thing is done to tame horses and elephants.
You see, the trainer ties up the small plane when it is very little, just a baby. At that size, the rope holds it. It grows up, tied by this rope. Always knowing “the rope holds me in place”.
Then when it’s older, they use the same rope. It holds the plane in place, or leads it where they want, because the plane THINKS it cannot run away.
The rope is in your mind.
What lies tie you down from childhood?

Just like rumble strips on the highway

That explains the dipshits out in Bumbleweed.

It's a rope like on a lawn mower. You have to pull it to start the engine.

Remember those sponge dinosaurs inside a capsule that you'd throw into the bath tub and they'd expand to like 1000x their original size? This plane was in one of those when he started his bath.

He's taking it for walkies.

My dog had the strength to pull me to the ground while I was holding onto the leash. Same concept here. It’s the bars in our minds that imprison us.

That's how they get airborne. Gavin swings the plane around his head until....YEET!

That leash doesn't go to the plane, it goes to the dragon.

It's a kink thing, if you were to see the full plane you'd realise it's unable to speak, presumably because it's gagged as well.
RayneOfSalt
I thought we were against kink-shaming?
TheLeanWolf
That's the plane's emotional support human.

You know the kill switch on a sea doo? Same thing. If he doesn't like what he sees as the plane is taking off he just yanks the heart plug right out of the jet.

Heart plug made me laugh on the crowded train

I couldn't ask for more.

Ground communication. He's talking with the flight crew. That's all.
LegionExMachina
He's using his Lasso of Truth to clear it for takeoff. Sometimes planes are really just trains.

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day!! Thank you @Op https://media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJla2swODM2ZGNqbGcyYnA3ZWN5aWZweXhxMDk2MW9sbTR5OTI2bGt0biZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/zUZFRgaEyAE9xOIjxN/giphy.mp4

"the plane is a flight risk"
That's pretty damn good

It's to pull the chocks out from under the wheel
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
Planes are like elephants: if you train them on a chain when they're very young, they grow-up thinking they aren't strong enough to break it, so they don't even try.
anonymous
Can we please get an actual answer instead of more dumb jokes?
ConfusedConda
Yes
MidasClaw
It's to pull the chalks from under the wheel so the plane doesn't roll away until it needs to. It's not like he has to run pulling the string to launch the plane like a kite.
anonymous
Thank you

Real answer (honest). Its a headset that connects to the cockpit so he can communicate to the flight crew.
Atomic2
only problem is, as soon as he puts it on, he goes straight into xbox live mode and starts trash talking the pilots. Apparently he has fucked all of their moms.
madeejit
"You're still on the ground Captain... still on the ground ... (wind noises)...still (garbled)...( click )..." "OK copilot, I think we're flying now"

I dunno, that doesn't seem right

Sorry, I didn't add the /s and that's on me. But thank you very kindly for sharing the info!
