Here's the replacement thread. I'm still mourning the loss of the palne thead, though.

I believe you got that before FN! Kudos!

Interesting. You would think that a charter would be flying a specific group as opposed to the random herd.

Is an aircraft a palne?

Darn, that was a fun thread!

With September 11, 2006 approaching, I expect alot more of these threads unfortunately. I don't blame pilots for being edgy now.
