Does flight stats give you Airport info? I haven't used flight stats that much. eg; Flights due to land between 2pm-5pm. So you can see how much delay there is at a certain airport?

I guess it doesn't. But it is quicker then having to load a web page and then enter the flight details. Its got a nice user friendly interface. Anyway it wasn't expensive.

Check out the site on the computer if you want even. http://mobile.flightstats.com/go/Mobile/ its a nice light version of the full FlightStats Web site.

Yes, it does have airport info. It feeds into both their own records and anything issued by the FAA. It will even give you a tiny little map if you want it.

FlightOptions for flight scheduling/alternate flight plan
Check out FlightOptions, recently became available in the App Store for .99. It provides a graphical view of alternate flights between any two airports.

Just downloaded a new game that's a lot of fun (and airplane related). It's called FlightControl and it's 99cents. It reminds of an old shareware game from years ago called ATC.
In this game you have to safely guide airplanes (large and small/slow and fast) and choppers to the appropriate runways. It's not a complicated game, but it's a great way to waste some time.

* Rewards Network app: this is a great tool for finding Rewards Network restaurants (AA Dining program, Skymiles dining etc). If you have a 3G Iphone the GPS makes things immensely easier.
* Bloomberg: the new version enables Bloomberg messaging!
* Istockmanager: probably my favorite. If you have a TDAmeritrade account, you will be able to trade via your Iphone. The application is very well designed and makes trading a breeze. You can even trade options.

Wow. That's two hours of my life that I could have done something else with.
High so far -- 44
Addictive.
The first 5 or 6 planes are kind of predictable but then it gets fast and furious.

I've made it to 64 safe landings. Now my wife is more addicted than I am.
I feel sorry for anyone on any of the planes when I play. Enough zigzags and close calls to make even the most experienced flier grab for the sick bag!
