Close. Not quite, but close. J. Herbin ink, and they’re very close to perfect. I own one, but will still take my 30-year-old Mont Blanc 144 over it.

Anyone who says flying is a “pretty cool experience” hasn’t been on a plane in, oh, 40 or 50 years. It’s more like a cross between being toothpaste and riding an intercity bus.
