Why the snark? Guy's trying to drum up business; good for him. That doesn't sound like a bad deal. Motel6 is charging $68 (retail).

Sure sounded like he was trying to make it an exhaustive list. Sorry if it came across as snarky. I like a good bed, clean room (no smoking), quiet, shuttle, free breakfast, hair dryer, mini-fridge. Good to be easy access to a restaurant of an evening.

Default Skywatcher Needs Help

Hi everyone, Sorry for posting here as i don't have ability to post a new thread in the hanger talk section. I wanted to ask a question about a plane I see on flightradar24. It is called AVRORA it seems to always be located in the vicinity of 50.7795 N 50.7795 E at exactly 10005 m or 32,000 ft. It is stationary. Says Invalid transponder code. It is located right in the lane that it seems like a bunch of freighters fly in the ANC to Tokyo / Seoul route. In fact an Atlas Air 747 few right on top of it this morning. Does anybody have an idea what this could be or can you help me find someone who would know? Thanks Andy

Sorry got that wrong it is at 50.7795 N 163.2114 E. Open ocean. I thought about that. Why would they tether it to a ship?

Good evening,
I am in tech for creating apps for aircrew. I'm not sure if this is the right place to share this so please correct me if its wrong.
We are currently working on a mobile app which will allow both pilots and aircrew to quickly see the best hotels and restaurants rated by other aircrew for those with a limited amount of time in one place - we are figuring out some business features so I welcome any ideas and suggestions on what are the cons of looking up your own reviews when you have a layover. Nice to meet you all!

This gave me a good laugh 😆

This type of use case insights is for the Layover Lounge App.

Note to self - must add Flush Toilets in the filter options. Lol
