    Games like this pay better to those who pay attention to them.

    1, put a movie on the tv
    2, set the ipad on your lap in line of sight and always have your eye on an airplane to catch bux as they occasionally pass by
    3, periodically look around your airports, check their passenger/cargo lists for bux rewards. even if you dont currently have an aircraft at an airport with one if your quick you can usually get a jet there and snag the bux before it randomly regenerates.
    4, 1 and 2 will naturally generate coin for you.

    I bought bux, so you would probably need to just do a lot of flights.

    ive read that the smaller events like the science fair are single person thingies where you on your own can work towards them or somesuch. may be a reward, udunno.

    Thanks for the tips. I'm playing on my iphone so it's hard to keep looking at it. (and very boring, I'm sick right now so nothing to do anyways I guess :p)

    is there a way to use my ipad instead?

    I find it's more enjoyable to have my phone wih the game on it so I can browse forums on my iPad, and I leave it in my relative line of sight and just go back to it as needed.

    Do you get money back when you close an airport? I've got the entire western seaboard open.

    This is true ... I've been ferrying Elvises (Elvii?) and guitars to Zanzibar all day.

    Is there a way to tell which aircraft unlock per level? I'm trying to plan ahead for some jets and would also like to know at what level I unlock a plane capable of Trans-Atlantic flights.

    I back this. I would like to know if Pearjets (unlocked at level 14, I hear) are capable of flying from New York to Madrid, and if not, how many range upgrades it takes for them to be able to. When Concordes are unlocked would be nice to know too. =)

    Much appreciated!

    Made with parts or bought whole? If that price is bought whole, I'd imagine the cost of making them in parts would be around 60... If so, I'd still be able to afford at least 5 Pearjets by the time I grind my way to level 14. xD

    Either way, they're still a lot more expensive than I thought they would be, given the progression. But I suppose the difference between Birchcraft and Pearjets is pretty substantial, so it's justified... =(

    I asked this earlier...no response, so I'm buying the parts opposed to paying outright to save a few bux. All I need left is the body-M and I'm good to go. I figure the 2 person/2 cargo, weigh capacity, and distance should make up for the 125mph so I'm getting it as soon as the last part shows up on the market. I've already made up for the lost bux from the other two parts so no biggie here, plus I can get rid over one of my older 1 person planes in the process...

    Yea the downside to this game is it seems you need to rely on IAP more :(

    Then events and flight crew come in
