Snowball Express
Noticed an AA flight from SMF-LAX this morning from the area of the UA flights at SMF... turns out to be a charter for kids who had lost a loved one in the military. Flight was going SMF-LAX-SAN-PHX-DFW to being the kids to Dallas for a few days of fun, sounds like a couple of amusement parks and a visit to Cowboys stadium. All the trimmings were out at SMF including Santa, refreshments for the kids (at 5am no less), letter from Gov Arnold, etc.
