Well, I just got off a 9 hour flight to florida and it sucked, putting me in the mood to design a new airline, (All rules here show relevance to my experience
Shakey Air Rules:
1) Sit in your seat, calmly, quietly and keep still, do not kick the seat in front.
2) If whoever may be behind you starts kicking your seat, you may (You are encouraged) to shout "Stop Kicking my Bloody chair!" (Those who put this phrase into a good Michael Caine impression will be given a tenner)
3) If you are seated in Bog standard class (Economy) you must not in anyway block the projection screen for more than five seconds.
4) If somebody ahead is blocking the large screen in Bog standard class, use the Handgun provided under your seat to aim for what ever part of the body is blocking the screen and shoot, even if you are not watching whetever tripe is on there. Do not worry about shooting a hole in the plane, All shakey Air planes are amour plated.
5) In the event of an emergency landing first put on the yellow life vest, it will make finding your body much easier. then put your head between your legs and kiss you're ass goodbye.

I fly quite a lot, and I don't find the flights to be nearly as bad as the rest of it. Delays, cancellations, and all that. I was once stuck in the Toronto airport for 26 hours. I was sick as a dog the whole time, too. And there was this little kid who kept chewing on my shoe while I was trying to sleep. I kicked him in the face, but he just laughed at me.

I will personally blow up every one of your airliners when its still at the gate.
Then at my trial, I won't be convicted because the jury will agree that the passengers were better off dead than having to fly on your suck ass airline

Well i dont bother to fly, as i use something called a ferry, which takes cars to and from dover to calais, and all true brits knows what comes from calais
the 777 is 100 million times better than the 747, I think GUNDOG will back this one up, it is the premiere airliner these days, their are no better plains......
I once tried to do a jack knife(I think that's what the manuver is called) in a 737, on Flight Sim. I had the most realistic settings and it actually work.

from there he goes to Boston, takes another plane to NYC and one last plane directly to Dakar...
Oh yeah it's confirmed the Airbus A380 (A3XXX) is gonna come out in 2005-06

Also excellent in the F-16, MiG-29, and Me 262 (I'm "trained" as an bomber interceptor in the 262, so I lack against fighters)

The manuver that I was refering to is this:
You fly straight up, untill you stall. Then turning left or right, so the nose of the plane faces the ground, after reaching overspeed you pull up into a loop and come out of the manuever. Like I said before I don't know if jack knife is the proper name.
favorite plane has to be the P-51 Mustang.

Too bad they don't make a flight sim that you can pull off the coolest looking move: the Cobra. Crude graphic coming soon.
I saw MiG-29s doing it once...l33t
PS--I just remembered one of the Sukhois can snap so far back they become inverted, but still traveling forward and upward and fire a missile behind themselves.

I've got the F-22 Lightning II Demo.Whenever I point the nose up I just go up and almost stay up.
Once I ran outta fuel at the highest altitude possible and it took me about 20 minutes with the air-brake on just to get past the clouds.
I like just falling...
