So, by your standard, you're a Republican conservative??? No........ (Then again, HK is the world's freest economy. Guess that works for you guys. ) Anyway, let's not get off topic.

[seafly4fun]

I am feeling really old.Thanks guys.

Ok lets see if I remember everything.

I'm Greg I'm 32 years old and live in Seattle, although I wish it were Chicago and yeah I know about the witners brrrr but the summers make up for it.

Favorite airline:
Hmmm they are all about the same to me really. Although I did like Delta and Continental a while ago when I flew on them. I recently flew on NWA and didn't think the service was all that bad like some have reported.

AC flown on:
A couple rj's on Horizon Airlines. Don't remember which ones.
And too many other kinds to remember. The joys of first flights out of where ever I am.

Favorite airplanes:
Anything that doesn't fall from the sky

Most used plane on AM:
I do like those Fokers and the Boeings are pretty sweet.

When I am not playing AM:
Planning a trip some where around the country. Trips planned for this year include: SFO, ORD, BOS, NYC, STL, PDX, and NOLA for now. Love gummi bears, lots of coffee and old school Motown, old school r&b, jazz and blues all old school.
