funny thing is we were going to Cancun, they were probably going to Albany or Syracuse
When did *small* become a bad thing. It seems in most other instance - smaller (and faster) is usually preferred. Let's see - driving a Porsche -vs- a Greyhound bus....at the very least driving a decked out Limo!
I guess only from the glory days of aviation did flying the *big* metal mean so much.
