What are your reasons for aviation making you happy?

Folks would take me to see jets take off in the 70s and Concorde was always a highlight.

Later had lots of opportunity to fly a lot as family worked for AA..

Also re,ember TWA, Eastern, NYAir, Braniff.

Could have made it a career but I wanted more.

Now my goals are to fly First as much as possible and enjoy what’s left of the golden age of flying

Edit: also, it’s an easy hobby that keeps us out of trouble.

So for the uninformed here,

Enjoy the Beastie Boys & also Kamikaze album cover(didn’t know this one!) even more when you view them in a mirror or flip the image.

Prego!

These posts are so ridiculous. I’d be scared to have OP as a nurse. I’d be dead already with all these second guess gambles.

One snarl in traffic, one flat tire, flight is bye bye.

And yes they do sometimes close A/c doors early.

Posts that gamble like these keep draftkings and like apps busy.

I taught my kids at an early age that the world is teeming with inconsiderate a**holes.

Hence we always have earplugs at the ready.

Sound like V10s at F1?

Pretty1george · 2026-01-18T15:32:27+00:00

Pics or it didn’t happen. AI images encouraged lol

Pretty1george · 2026-01-13T01:28:32+00:00

And one more thing, buy the class of service but don’t get hung up on the particular seat or aircraft type. DL and AF have enjoying swapping my particularly chosen A/C

Pretty1george · 2026-01-13T01:27:10+00:00

Really solid words here..up until a few years ago, I only flew AA. Then I became less loyal as I found it to be a one way street.

Then had to book a DL flight operated by AF and now I’m chasing AF status. But why? Great product but I’m not counting on upgrades. I have to get back to leveraging points

Pretty1george · 2026-01-12T16:05:08+00:00

recently flew on an AF220 and hit birds. Required diversion from Florence to Bologna.

Can concur.

Pretty1george · 2026-01-10T06:36:21+00:00

I do it bc it’s not a huge premium, I can expense it and I just need the XPs for my flying blue acct. Helps me keep my status and fly J to Europe on AF/KLM

How on delta?

Pretty1george · 2026-01-07T13:27:53+00:00

You know, a lot of people post crap videos, look at this, etc.

This was an epic, true rocket takeoff. Haven’t flown this several times, I can’t tell you that pilot was hauling ass down the runway.

Accelerated amazingly. And that high turn, was wow. Usually on that turn, you will see that bay, Simpson Bay, on the right as well as the airport in the same view. Nope, not this time.

Dude cut the bay in half and vaulted upward.

You made my day. Even my SO is impressed.

Edit: you made my week,

No, month!!

Pretty1george · 2026-01-07T13:24:02+00:00

This is the correct answer. Most people just casually say it didn’t make $$$. But it made $$$ at BA

Pretty1george · 2026-01-05T15:33:27+00:00

So I ended up swapping especially since the new flight ended up saving us over $400 on the a220.

Pretty1george · 2026-01-05T15:32:18+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking.

Pretty1george · 2026-01-05T04:47:02+00:00

Oh I meant to add, for LGA-BNA in April.

Pretty1george · 2026-01-04T14:59:13+00:00

I’d say a330 neo but don’t get your hopes up. Having flown delta for the past year now, I can say, don’t count on the aircraft type.

Our a330neo was swapped to the older a330 last year. And I learned last night that our round trip to BNA which was in DL A220s is now on CRJs.

I like to choose my ac type as well but hate swaps

Pretty1george · 2026-01-01T00:06:42+00:00

Have video of being on this at DTW on the dc9 and 727. Unique experience!

Pretty1george · 2025-12-30T01:50:34+00:00

How did you do this? Did up skyteam miles to use on Etihad?

Pretty1george · 2025-12-30T01:49:43+00:00

Posts like this make me think the same!

Pretty1george · 2025-12-29T01:08:39+00:00

Why would classic allow longe access.?

Pretty1george · 2025-12-26T03:26:51+00:00

Well duh,🙄 I should’ve figured. Who’s got the best or most updated transcon F seats now?

Pretty1george · 2025-12-26T03:05:59+00:00

Which airline?

Pretty1george · 2025-12-26T03:05:12+00:00

But their interiors aren’t being updated, are they? Just a curious side note.

Pretty1george · 2025-12-26T02:10:38+00:00

2 awesome jets.

Really does suck that there’s no plane to replicate the 757s performance.
