500th A320
I was on the 500th built A320 last nightfor the LAS-SFO run (there is a placard at the F class cabin bulkhead) and asked the flight crew to sign the ticket jacket for me.

Unfortunately didn't get to fly it, as there was a problem with the emergency exit circuit breakers.
As Alaska was sold out, I had to take Greyhound.. Even two cans of Heineken didn't cure the pain of traveling on them with screaming kids, backwards seats and corny jokes.
