less flights, more seats on board. No wonder the airlines are turning a profit for the first time in like forever. Consumer sacrificed again, want to be comfortable.? pay up!

Pretty cool they finally took any mothballed air craft and flew it out of the bone yard! The fact it was a B-52 is a bit cooler to me. And the Russian's are still running old turbo props around England these days.

Who hasn't walked an old junk yard and thought about being able to put a car back on the road with the parts available? Same thing, right?

That is a big wing air craft. It has wheels on the wing tips too cool.

Must have been a real challenge to land these monsters!

We did fly Spirit. They were OK. I noticed the co-pilots were like 30 years old or younger... Not that it's bad or anything but I know the company is not on par with pilot wages from some of the other big airlines... I think these young guys are getting their experience and hours with Spirit before they move on to "greener pastures"..

The seats in the Airbus 319 were actually OK.. They seemed better than a 737... Spirit does make you pay for everything.. The airline you love to hate!!

If you don't pre-purchase your bag fee of $45.00 online they ding you $100.00 at the counter and day of your trip which I think really SUCKS and is [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

I think they are a good airline overall as far as safety goes. The two planes we flew down and back on seemed to be a newer fleet.

Harrison Ford's BT-22 suffered engine failure and crashed on a golf course a short time ago. He suffered bad facial cuts but is otherwise ok. The same cannot be said for his beautiful WWII trainer. Just glad he survived.

Damn -- no fire! Put her back together again and go back to boring holes in the sky ...

His son said in a news conference that his father has crashed before and also flies helicopters.. Hope Harrison will be OK..

Looks like he landed at a pretty high sink rate (ruts in the ground, collapsed landing gear). I wouldn't be surprised if he had a back injury out of this one.
