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 like the ones that they have for sale at the Airplane Shop. I have visited their Las Vegas location twice and really like it as they seem to have a large selection. They also have a tailfin keychain for CO that they sell for 3.00. Very Cool!

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.

Yeah, they want to make sure to ensure that they know in advance which flights you areon so that they don't oversell them.

well at least 5 of the flght patterns we can ask you the real stats for.

You don't pose a threat like some. ;)

I don't pose a threat to co.
Just because I made plat this year spending about 1500. That's high rolling compared to what alco is about to do to bmi/luftwaffa.

Then again, I thought someone in coach died during the flight and was not sure whether I dreamt the FA's discussion of the incident or not, so I did not want to ask them to close the curtain. The presence of the paramedics that boarded the aircraft after most of the passengers had disembarked seemed to indicate that something had happened, however.

I saw your post about that yesterday.

Great GAF but extremely low WAF.
WAF > GAF, usually

I'm now trying to figure out how to get access to the VS Clubhouse at LHR during my 4 hour layover there in December...

There is one in Fairfield, NJ. @:-)

We're moving within about 35 minutes of Fairfield, so I may need to pay a visit the the Airplane Shop in the coming weeks. ^

I believe BD Gold gets you entry, but I forget the specifics of the rule.

Fortuantely, CO has phased in more ExJet flights back onto the DCA-CLE route so that it is no longer primarily Chautauqua. There are now, unfortunately, Chautauqua CRJ's appearing on the BWI-CLE schedule, however.

Shouldn't be that way for an extended period of time, though, as their are no more than 7 CRJs left in the fleet right now, and those are all supposed to be gone by the end of the first quarter of 2010.

Don't forget the imitation crab meat that was the bonus part of the deal.

In considering the issue more deeply, however, I would say that the minicabin on the 764 Micronesia might be as good as that of the 762. I've had some of the most comfortable coach flights ever in row 10 on that aircraft.

I've yet to fly on the Micronesia 764.

Well I did kind of mention that I didn't see myself booking many more flights with them this year, thanks to UA's double EQMs. But they probably figure I'll be back (or just don't care).
