But does the plane have a ballroom? No? Well, then.

Eh, I'm not sure I buy that for the ballroom thing. I suspect that it is more the Ceaușescu thing; for a certain type of weird dictator, the temptation to build some sort of stupid self-aggrandising building is just irresistible (see this absurd object: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_the_Parliament).
