This article relays a story about race and empire in the air. It uses the openness of creative nonfiction to mix and link ostensibly disconnected ethnographic and archival moments. Focused on diaspora and flight, it ties the onset of airline travel to the recent rise of aerial deportations and deaths. It shows why the differentiation, discrimination, and domination of racial others took to the sky, leaving us to wonder what befalls humanity aloft
