I'm almost an "elite" member on these flying buses now. Just got a free trip going to Vegas this week. Yes, the seats are damn awful. But for less than $110 roundtrip I've gone from SFO to DEN/MSP/IAH/ORD/PHX/LAS at least once each this year so, can't beat that. Never been more than 40 minute late either. Useless tray table, though for sure.
.

I'd rather pay more and have the old frontier, though I'm obviously in the minority on that one.

To each their own. I very rarely travel for more than 3 days so a backpack is just fine for me. The old Frontier was my favorite along with Sun Country to travel on. However, when they have sales like today where SFO-LAS is $30 roundtrip for an hour flight in those crappy seats...you can't beat that. I mean United charges me $37-120/segment for non-rev travel. I have UA bennies but I fly Frontier because it's CHEAPER than flying standby. I loved Frontier, flew them often in the 2000s, but I'm sorry, I would gladly save $200 to give up the direct TV and seat without sacrificing safety and punctuality. Just my thoughts on the matter.

That being said, when I do plan on bringing a full-size carry-on and I can't non-rev on UA, I'll pay extra to fly Virgin America, not worry about anything, and have a comfortable trip.

John McCain's flight suit when he was shot down over Trúc Bạch Lake. I cannot believe they display this as a trophy.

I have a friend who is on a 5 month long tour of SE Asia. This was one thing, among many many many Vietnam War memorabilia/memorials he visited. I don't think they look at it as a trophy. If anything the history is what it is, and I would be humbled to stand in the presence of Mr. McCain's flight suit. This is a part of history, and should serve as a humbling reminder of the lives and sacrifices given, on both sides, for the countries involved.

Oh and feel free to stop by his blog: https://adamacrossasia.wordpress.com/

Look what I found in our hangar. It looks a lot like a 340 from certain angles.

Pretty much. And a lot more power.

Ah, Wallingford.

I always loved the Blue Star cafe. First place I'd ever seen people drinking Guinness for breakfast.
