Introducing....
Hello all,
I'm new here....my name is AmericanBadAzz. I'm not really a bad a$$ lol but since I'm an AAdvantage member I just thought i'd make a play off of it (especially with the song and all).
I found this site because (and this may sound crazy to some people... lol) I have a love for architecture and urban landscapes. Next month (Jan 2010) I'll be taking my first trip to LA form Washington DC (which is where I live) via ORD (havent been there either). And well I have a thing for seeing city skylines from the air, so I poking around the net trying to find the usual approach pattern into ORD and LAX... you know.. to see how good of a view of the cityscapes I may get when coming in for a landing (I still have yet to find a clear answer for ORD). Google found an image someone put on this site of them flying over the Chicago skyline when taking off from I think MDW. I've been in love with this site since. ^
Anyway since I was a kid i've always been interested in traveling ( and have a looooooong list of places to see/visit before I leave this earth. I'm only 29 so I anticipate having plenty of time. In the past couple years I've finally been able to get in a position financially to be able to travel like I want to. I did alot of traveling in 08 and 09 that allowed me to be promoted to AAdvantage Gold ^^ so I expect 2010 to be even better.
I also love flying... lol
Thank you to whoever made this site and thanks to the members for making it enjoyable to be here. I lookforward ot being an active member.

Hi there!
Just found this great forum, albeit late at that. All due to my own unwillingness to venture from the familiar sites i frequent.
I'm a med student in China, Durban's my home though. Viva South Africa!
Come check us out at the World Cup!!
Cheers!!

Welcome durbs777, as well as the other new FTers!! (I feel weird welcoming everyone as I just recently joined myself, but whatever!)
My name is Josh and every time I had a burning question about the airline I was flying on my upcoming flight, I'd google the question and FT was always the first and best hit, so I (FINALLY!!) joined, and it's been one of the smartest decisions ever.
I'm from NJ, though I'm a student in Israel, hopefully enlisting in the army in March, but if not, starting college in the fall.
Because I'm in Israel but my family lives in NJ, I fly back and forth occasionally, and Continental is my home airline! though I recently tried BA and loved it!!
I love flying and I love traveling, and I can't wait to get as much as I can from this site!

Um, hello everyone! *waves*
Yeah, hi...just joined up this evening (UK time evening), and thought I'd drop a message and introduce myself.
Well, the name's Chris, originally from Liverpool, Merseyside and currently in my 3rd year (out of 5!) in a degree in Music Performance at Birmingham (UK) Conservatoire. And got infected this year with the travel bug after my first solo trip! (to NYC, Philadelphia, Toronto, Washington DC, Niagra Falls and Boston (MA) in 2 weeks!)
*waves anxiously*

Joined a couple years ago, just thought I'd start posting.
Sorry to hi-jack this thread just to say 'hi' but am testing seeing that my 1st post had to be moderated prior to posting, wonder if this is the same case.

No, not stupid as there are a great many indications that this is a US site. However the BA forum is quite British, the AF and KL forums are multi-cultural and the LH forum has a lot of Deutchelanders. You may find Aussies in the QF forum and the France forum has a special French language thread, etc. Flyertalk is global, even if it leans heavily in favor of the US.
