Anyone got anything else?

I have heard about the mods to the maddogs. We will see if and when it gets board approval.
There seems to be a ton of JAL 744's getting their paint changed in NRT. All going out to pasture. (Not that we are getting em, just thought I would share!
)

Flight 1850 flailing wildly on approach from MSP had to abandon the effort after several steep side to side swings and and a strong upward surge. The second approach was not much better but at least successful. It is not too often I become concerned for my own personal safety while spotting! Funny just after this the DE heavy turned out the approach and was seen circling east over the valley to take the 19's instead..."
I suppose that if you log enough picture-taking time in parking lots next to runways, eventually you become a little like an honorary pilot...

Anyone else have any Android issues w/ iCrew??

I don't do it myself, but apparently the only way to access iCrew on Android is to download the Fennec browser, which is Mozilla/Firefox's mobile Android browser. Nothing else works on iCrew in Android at the time.
Let us know how it works.

No charge for the consultation.

Problem fixed
BTW: Sprint's Delta discount and the EVO 4G can't be beat. Unlimited $74.95 a month with the insurance that covers loss & breakage.
