I finally updated Teh BoxMemory with my latest flights (dating back to April... :o)


Glad to see The Box has traveled to 6 continents this year! ^ Anyone planning a trip to Antarctica before the end of the year?

I like the 762 better than the 764.

Apparently I fly the same routes too often. Of the Penalty Box's top 5 routes, 3 are ones I do pretty often, and the top 2 are ones that I do nearly every week.

Apparenty wedged in between e-mails for male enhancement, acai berries, and 70% off watches I got an e- mail that co is now following my Twitter.

They DM me, and reply occasionally, but have yet to follow me.

Where does The Box buy airplane models? I'd like to pick up something nice for my desk.

Or, you can do as I have done and stretch your leg out, point toward the galley, and say, "Please use the galley to cross."

That will also work :-:

If in Y, I prefer the 762 mini-cabin. If in BusinessFirst, it really doesn't matter to me.

All this talk about the 764/2, I guess I need to fly on a CO one at some point.

Why I don't like the 762? I really don't know. It's either a noise issue, some weird vibration or it has some strange flight movements like the 735 have. The 764s are really smooth and quiet. The mini Y cabin on the Miconesia 764 is ace. Don't like the 762 mini cabin.

That depends how much are you looking to spend. Hogan makes some nice plastic models for 20-40$ also pacmin makes museum quality pieces for around 350 .

I get a discount at the museum of flight so if you want I will be able to pick something up for you.

I can't help for what you're in the mood for, as my preferred model house is all-military. www.squadrontoys.com

I don't get in until after 10:00pm, and will be heading straight to bed, as I need to be up by 05:30 on Saturday.

Any suggestions for something in between? I don't want a plastic model that feels cheap but I also don't want to drop $350 on something. Do the Hogan models feel cheap? Can you see the plastic seams?

Thanks for the offer! I may take you up on that if they have what I'm looking for.
