the chicken and cheese wasn't bad either....

I normally don't even care what I get in F, I just had to compare CO to Nw within days of each other. Many times I am not even on meal time flights, just the the snack tray, real fancy it is ;)

It was pretty tasty. I've had everything in that meal before, just not that combination of soup flavor and wrap.

I enjoyed the split pea soup, I was glad it wasn't a longer flight however :D

really it is hard for me to believe some of the items CO serves for meals. They must be trying to reduce fuel usage making home grown fuels....in the cabin.

Evening, box!

Unfortunately, my eyes are not cooperating and keep closing.

Thanks to all my fellow boxers for the well wishes, good thoughts, and prayers.

It is wonderful to be home and while dosing off to FT I was thinking MRs and upgrades :D

Glad to hear things went well. ^

Done and done, thanks much!

The homebrew fuels are usually audacious and unmitigated.

I'm having a pancake craving.:o

They're easy to make -- a cup of flour, a tablespoon of baking soda, a beaten egg, and a cup of milk. Mix, pour, flip, eat! @:-)

FedEx has its issues but darn it they always seem to go the extra mile for me.

We've had issues with UPS at our address too, including times when they've returned items to the sender claiming we were at an address that doesn't exist. Granted, our address is rather wonky — most online mapping systems and GPS navigation systems place our address about three blocks away, on another section of the street our address is on, which does not connect to our street. To make it worse, our building fronts onto one street, but has an address on a street that runs down the side of the complex.

Yep. I've seen one of the federal government's prison charters at IAH a few times recently, and those flights never show up on FlightAware.

CSA Czech Airlines!

That looks awful in so many ways. The worn blue leather cushions remind me of those on many of Colgan's Saabs.

What equipment was that thing on? It looks rather narrow — 767?

Note how the passenger's knees in Row 2 nearly touch the seat-back in front.

WOW. Check out that high tech screen. I'm sure there was an enormous mid-1980s vintage video projector (the kind with the three big colored lenses on the front) hanging from the ceiling over row 2 or 3, right?

No, US domestic F is nicer, at least on the newer aircraft.
