I've been on some Soviet-era aircraft that made me think the same thing. Just entering an IL-86 was quite the experience, for example.

CLE actually has as many sunless days per year as SEA.

Not from HHonors, but I get lots of e-mail addressed to people who think they own the cterrell @ gmail.com e-mail account. The only problem is that those people do not own that account. I do. And I don't want to be included in their conversations about how they started their periods, how their iTunes account isn't working, or how they hate their job. The replies I get after getting fed up with the chain of e-mails and responding to the group explaining how I do not know any of them are pretty great.

Paradise, Found! :D

I wonder what the stats are on EDI. It's kind of difficult to classify any particular day there as falling into a category (sunny, rainy, cloudy, etc.). Being so close to the North Sea and North Atlantic, the weather is always changing, from one minute to the next. Not uncommon to start foggy, then have some scattered clouds, scattered showers, sunny spells (up to 70 degrees, lasting perhaps half an hour or more), followed by some evening sleet/hail, then clear and below freezing at night.

You can almost always count on it being windy, though. I can't remember ever having landed there and not seeing whitecaps on the Firth of Forth.

I had "0" lifetime to date IC points until yesterday. The very few stays I have (none in 2009, one in 2008) there have always been miles earning.

I AM in teh Festering Pit. I was bemoaning the fact that MSY was getting the good weather. The heat index here is 99, and it feels like you are walking through soup when you step outside. :-:
