There is a video of Kate Upton on the vomit comet for a sport's illustrated shoot making the rounds.

SI Swimsuit Model: Weightless Kate Upton - She's photographed on zero gravity flight

The second video is better. Enjoy

Yes, we will probably do this when we forget there are NO autobrakes!

I recall some of the power that have-been saying RJ's were self-financing, and opening up the checkbook for MD-11's. For ATL-MCO.

If you're talking about those guys, their disdain for the 717 is a ringing endorsement for the aircraft.

Who is spreading the AUS-LAX 717 rumor, Bill Lundberg? I don't see it in Travelnet and it isn't on airlineroute.net.

I don't believe it.

I do like the idea of SWA having to pay for bringing into the fleet so we can use them out of DAL..
