Neko: You rendered the plane in 3D, do not paint the outside while it is in flight. The nature walk on the left wing with the llamas was the highlight of the last flight. The llama that did fall off landed safely in Greenland, the snow broke its fall. Its a little shaken up but nothing broken. (Those skydiving lessons paid off for the llama.)

I am a bit concerned about the new control electronics for the plane. This fly-by-wire concept is great but did you have to use a Windows based GUI for the flaps and engines? The system installed updates in mid-flight and wanted to reboot over Newfoundland. It was funny when it cycled through the door locks and all of the oxygen masks dropped down but the oxygen system had not been started yet as that was one one of the last items on the init list and the INI file has always been a bit suspect.

I am also concerned about the Windows food service. Everyone is now expecting to pay something for their food while in flight but few grasp the concept of a "home" and "pro" version of a pear, much less six versions of the same kind of Apple (ultimate, etc.)

In the future we should run some sort of defrag on the seating charts before we let the people on the plane. Families were spread all over the place and many used their push-to-talk cell phones to converse with each other drowning out the cries of the shums that Zelda had booked on the first flight out of Paris. (Next time they go in the cargo hole.)

Now about that plan you have to put VR's picture on the tail....
