Ok, here’s a little P and P riddle for ya:

Basically, I’ve been around since the 60s. I’m pretty big and I can carry heavy loads. I can travel really far but often it’s incredibly difficult for me to get off the ground on schedule. There’s been several versions of me.

People who ride with me like to float around in my belly while I do the navigating.

Unfortunately, pieces of me like to randomly fall off during travel, potentially causing my passengers great harm. I always require absolutely perfect weather to land at the end of my journeys. And, when I return, I sometimes need a piggy back ride back home.

I’m incredibly outdated and people don’t seem to be all that interested in me anymore. I’m thinking about retiring so I can hang around Lockheed Martin factories and talk smack about the good old days.

What am I?
