I was at the innagural Miami Marlins game last night and it featured a very impressive flyover. Annoyingly, it was never announced which aircraft were used or where they were based. They looked to me like Air Force (or ANG) F-16s but I couldn't be sure. Does anyone know?
Jump to postTitle says pretty much everything, there's a DL 747-400 at BWI today and I'm curious as to why. Sporting charter maybe?

Jump to postGreat report as always Kurt! How I have to go find your outbound one.
Jump to postI was at Game One of the World Series last night in San Francisco and there was a gorgeous flyover by fighters. Any idea where they took off from and what kind of aircraft they were?
Jump to postI did enjoy the TR, especially the almost hidden DC-10 in your about to land at MSP picture, wish you had more shots of them! Thanks for posting.
Jump to postThanks for the report. Wow...a pack of pretzels and a turkey sandwich in International Business Class? Pretty lame, United.
Jump to postThanks for everyone for your responses. I will be moving up there January 29 to start work February 1. As my office will be about 8 miles west of the strip, I plan to live on the west side. I'm headed up Thursday to meet my new colleagues and apartment hunt.

Jump to postI'd like to echo the above compliments and also say that it was a great report.

Jump to postDefinetly one of the best first reports I've ever read. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you.

I got a cut on my shoulder and rummaged around in my bathroom cabinet today until I found an old bottle of hydogen peroxide. It's marked "expires 09/2008". Does this mean it's unsafe for use? I figured as it wasn't, you know, milk or something else perishable it would still be useable.
Jump to postI hope no one mines if I ramble for a little. Even though she's been dead since 2001 I was overcome by feelings of melancholy tonight. Maybe it's because I don't have a photograph and all my family is asleep but I wanted to talk about her. Saba Bernstein was born October 24, 1919 (she shares my birt...
Jump to postDefinetly a great report. The person you mention from the IST lounge was Flyertalker Lucky9876Coins. He mentioned you in his trip report on Flyertalk.Com
Jump to postI figured I'd better reply before you started whinging again that no one had. Good report, though I very much disagree with you on Sao Paulo being a nice place to visit. Of course, maybe it changed it the last three years.

Jump to postGreat report. It's awful to see that State Station on the MBTA is still under construction, they started that at least five years ago.
I'm curious, why do you get the signatures on your hat?
I don't want to get into an "AA is great" type argument but I'm confused as to why you're calling them Ameri-CANT based on an outbound with no significant delays or bad service?
Jump to postGood report and even better choice on driving around in a G6 while in Florida. I own one and think you made a smart decision!
Jump to postI certainly appreciate the answers on this one. I consider myself to be somewhat knowledgeable about the military so I knew this wasn't Beale AFB but I'm embarassed to admit I forgot it might have been Travis.
Jump to postOn March 18 I flew between Oakland and Salt Lake City and about ten minutes east of Oakland we flew over a large military complex. On the ground seemed to be dozens of heavy cargo aircraft and the base had two long runways. Was this Edwards Air Force base perhaps or somewhere else? Thank you.

Jump to postSadly, "disapointing USAirways trip" is becoming a redundancy.
