Physical media all the way here. My fellow installers when I worked at Bjorns A/V called it direct media.

One of the other things I like about physical media is that I can loan it to friends & family."Conservative Libertarians love the country, progressive leftists love the government." - Andrew Wilkow

Well… the choice at Blockbuster was more limited, and they could run out of some titles, whereas streaming is almost unlimited for choice and availability.
Well, most people probably realize I wasn’t being literal. Kind of a tongue in cheek statement that sitting on your couch and finding a movie should be miles better than having to drive and pick out a movie, but it’s not miles better, it’s only slightly better. I honestly don’t watch many movies because finding something to watch is such a beating.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

The streaming posts above got me to thinkin'.
Do you have to rewind the streaming videos when you're finished? You know, like videotapes -- and DVDs?
Askin' for a friend.
Oh, while I'm thinkin' about it. Is it OK to use a regular DVD rewinder on Blu-ray DVDs?
I hope so!

Maybe his Chance-Vought overalls were in the laundry and he had to resort to wearing an old set of Vought-Sikorsky overalls.

A big hangar.
Maybe of the dirigible kind, like the big ol' hangar(s) at Moffett Field in (next to) Sunnyvale, CA.
They always fascinated me when I drove by on 101.

^^^^Love those Hellcats and Corsairs
On display at the National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola FL.
F6F-3 Hellcat
The Navy’s front-line fighter during the final two years of World War II, the F6F produced more aces, including leading Navy ace Commander David McCampbell, than any other Allied aircraft. At peak production the airplane’s manufacturer delivered one Hellcat an hour around-the-clock. The aircraft on display is a combat veteran of the Solomon Islands campaign having flown with Fighting Squadron (VF) 38, including missions escorting a plane carrying Vice Admiral William F. “Bull” Halsey.
FG-1D Corsair
Originally produced by Vought, the Corsair was in production by multiple manufacturers longer than any piston-engine fighter and flew combat missions in both World War II and Korea. Its most recognizable design feature was an inverted gull wing that was necessary to keep the blades of its 13-ft. propeller from striking the ground. During air combat missions in World War II, more than one Marine pilot downed a Japanese plane by chopping off its tail with this large propeller.
Note: The best place to see the Blue Angels on their practice days all year at Sherman Field just behind the museum. A very special place.
