how did you get the dark side to show? it would be genius if the UA app showed the dark side if you had dark mode enabled in android/ios.

i could do without the splash screen animation every time i opened the ios app, i will say.

The Dark Side is a pathway to many abilities some consider unnatural.

Update iOS. 13.2.2 fixes the problem introduced in 13.2 where backgrounded apps were being aggressively shut down for no good reason. I saw the animation the first time I launched the updated app, but I haven't seen it since.

FR24 et al ought to show an X-Wing icon instead of a plane for this.

ATC to Red 5: Luke. You've shut off all of the aircraft computers. Is everything alright?

I don't want to be too big a nerd here, but why couldn't they do two planes one for each side of the force. I mean I am totally cool flying on the dark side 738 up above, but come on, lets think this stuff through.

Both sides of the force on (and inside) one plane is more representative of the inner struggle the series depicts for Anakin/Kyro Ren/Rey, don't you think?

The dark side would be best repped by a CR2. Though the park bench seats on some of the 737/s will do

Too bad they didn’t die the tie up for TFA, a 747 livery would have been amazing.

Make sure your app is up-to-date. This was added in an update about two days ago.
