I'd stick with TA1. There would be Mystery Parts in a full plane event. I'd just collect C130 parts and build my own. No biggie if I have one less C130 plane (viz not getting the 1st place prize).
It's a lot smoother but's missing the Mapple and KK So guys, I'm off to bed, what's your predictions for the prize? I'm hoping Hercules or Concorde, but that's my wish for every event, right?
That Faye is of course the correct answer (I didn't think of that when I put the question out). We could get 10 to 20 C-130's each and to hell with the event prize.
Aaaaaaand the event is...... NEW YEARS CELEBRATION IN PARIS!!! Top (and top 10) prize is a Concorde part + 10 Bux! This is awesome, I already own Paris, and London.

Faye, that is excellent! Thanks for the hard work -- not two hours ago, I was digging deep through this thread for some of those posts.
Great work, Faye! i've "immortalized" your hardwork by posting them on a new sheet entitled "strategies" under our TA1 crew member info google spreadsheet. Could more of us include the link to our TA1 crew member info in our signature so that it's easy for forum members to access ?
Cheers to that! I'll bask in my 1st place glory right now, but I'm about to go to bed and with only 15 plane slots, I know I won't remain there for long. Ah well.
New year's event - Concorde PART Does anyone know if everyone gets the same part or is it a random single part? Have to admit I agree with Relharn, hard to get motivated for a single part.
