How did some of you keep track of all of these flights? People think I'm nuts that I have a list of all of the planes I've been on and the corresponding airline and flight segments. I don't have dates and I only mention the flight once even if it's a repeat flight.

The trips to God's waiting room get much worse when I add the older stuff. Although there's a lot of fun stuff like Eastern, Pan Am, NY Air, etc.

It's a healthy combination of visiting the grandparents in Del Boca Vista (who I now take care of, remotely - if that's possible - due to the lovely disease known as dementia), a work project that had me going to FLL/MIA and a healthy smattering of trade shows in MC:rolleyes:.

A lot of my FM was educated guesswork if it's earlier than 2001. My mother recently cleaned out some closets and found a bunch of boarding passes, a few of which helped me improve my recollection. 2007 and on is as dead on as I know how to make it, thanks to having started the Couples FM page.

I took an educated guess on the equipment for old flights. I didn't break down the sub variations of the Boeing fleet or even RJ's to any great detail.

I just put in the year for any trip I didn't have an exact date on.

And if I took away the routes I repeated my FM stats would drop by 9:rolleyes:%.

I have a same day turn EWR-PBI on Kiwi - that's gotta score some obscure FM style points even in this crowd.

I am on BD 151 14:40-16:55 on Friday, I may try to get an earlier flight though. I should be in the T-1 super lounge all morning.

Nice.

I think my "best" flights that I have yet to add are the BWIA island hopper, a very random DCA - SBY flight on a shorts (the taxi was longer than the flight), and a flight that went SAV -HHH - CHS - CLT. US experimented with this route for about, I think, 1 day.

The amusing thing about that was I was living in HHH at the time, drove to SAV to pick-up the flight, then flew to HHH. I must have saved money doing it like that. Or, perhaps, it was a technical stop. I really don't remember now.

ETA: and a MIA - Key West (EYW?) flight. But everyone has one of those.

I may have to take a crack at this. Though I'd have issues with NWA flights as just the EWR-MSP flights I've been have had 727, DC-10, 757, A319, A320, and DC-9-30's all intertwined with each other.

My FMing has reached a dangerous level. I have a bookmarks folder for FM. In it are my personal one, the couples page, the Box page, my mother's page, and the Do/Meet/Thing page. :eek:

Night, Box. Just put a ton of new video on the iPod, gonna go play with that.

Good morning. I got up way to early this morning. It's a brisk 28 here at EWR.
