And their eyes were opened
The plain understanding is that they were beholden from "know"ing who he was not that he was present and visible or invisible.

Compliment.

This was probably poetic and figurative, although it also is possible that
God the Father has wings like the cherubim over the ark of the covenant. I
wouldn't find that strange if he did, considering the descriptions of the
cherubims and seraphims (see Isaiah 6).

He saw this. That's the record of Scripture.

Nah, 150 lbs is no problem for Jesus's hand. :-)

I was thinking of later on when he broke bread with them.
Luke 24:31
(31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of
their sight.
The Greek word here is aphantos, which means, without visibility. It is a
negative of the word used in Heb. 11:3 where it says that which is seen was
not made of that which is visible.
Peace be with you.
