I had an idea last night. Inflatable decoy planes are still a thing,
So, imagine, inflatable decoy Aeromorphs,
Flawless and gorgeous, indistinguishable from the ones made of metal and electronics until you get up close and see how her curves are rounder, how her skin is rubber and vinyl instead of radar absorbent paint on metal, the way she sags just a little in the wings and the ways she's anchored so that jet wash and wind doesn't blow her away.
Still they're just as diligent in their duties as the ones who actually take flight, vapidly lounging next to runways and in hangers with a near permanent grin on their faces, playing an elaborate shell game during take-offs and landings to disguise who's who, waiting for their aluminum lookalikes to return to their waiting arms to relieve them of the aches the technicians and mechanics can't.
When the day's fighting ends and the hanger doors close both beauties retire to each other's company, steel and softness intertwining as they take what time they can to rest in each other's embrace before they must ready their companions for the next day.
