Hasn't he heard of the flights that chase the sun? You can fly fast enough to remain in perpetual daylight, so it's not really a problem.

That's a stupid idea. They could just start by flying the plane higher so it's closer to the sun, then the batteries would charge up and they can fly anywhere.

Kinda like superman. Which he's not.

Otherwise, based on my information from conservatives, the plane would burn up because it's out of the goldilocks zone.
