I'm currently reading horror stories about it, so now I'm wondering about the citizenship implications if the baby gets born on the flight.

"Apparently it depends. The national registry of the airline matters. The nation you are born over matters too. Some nations grant citizenship to fly-by babies. Some don't."

So the baby could still be American! Buahahaha!

God, imagine going through all that effort and the kid ends up being born before the plane crosses the border on a plane that's registered in Russia or Sweden or something. Is triple citizenship a thing?

What if you're a kid of Canadian/Russian descent born on a plane registered to Sweden while flying over US airspace?

As all four of those countries allow multiple citizenships, I guess you get a bunch of passports!

Can you imagine the international implications if this kid turns out to be a kick-ass NHLer?

Imagine the kid trolling the media. "IDK, I've always felt really grateful to Sweden for extending citizenship to me...I really, really love Sweden and want to visit there soon..." and then in the next interview "well of course due to my mother I feel very, very close to my Russian heritage..." and then the next day "oh, I love Canada, we go there every summer!"

I think my favorite scenario is one where he's actually really good at hockey, but decides not to pursue it professionally and focus on other stuff instead. And so four nations weep.

NA This reminds me of a fic I read once where Sid had a huge secret to tell his teammates that he was really worried about and one of his teammates was wondering if Sid was actually secretly American and the Americans were challenging the golden goal from Vancouver 2010. Imagine if it was true!

I want to read this fic, nonny? What is this?

ayrt I don't remember exactly what fic it was, nonnie :( I think it was an S/G fic but Sid's secret had nothing to do with being a secret American, it was just a teammate jumping to a conclusion!

ayrt

Those random tidbits and hilarious throwaway lines and thoughts are what I read fic for, though.
