    A Kangaroo with no range upgrades has a range of 945 miles. That's more than enough to fly between Barcelona and Istanbul (828 miles) or Berlin and Moscow (790 miles). The Airvan (stock range 840 miles) can also make those trips.

    Istanbul is one of my permanently open airports. A Cyclone with the full range upgrade can fly directly between New York and Istanbul!

    Accepted and gifted. :) By north-south I mean from Seattle down to Buenos Aires. Longer routes mean more coins per job, and more jobs per plane means more profit. You can use the Kangaroos to hop down from blue Seattle to red Buenos Aires by opening some tiny airports in between. Try Seattle to Buenos Aires via Chihuahua, San Jose, and Cuzco. Load your plane at one end, send it on its way, and come back in an hour and 17 minutes. You've just made 3426 coins in profit.

    Yes. Yes it is. I'll have to try that...

    Did you upgrade the airports where the bux-sitters are ?
    When you upgrade an airport it gets more layovers and more jobs listed, since bux jobs are about 2% of all jobs (if I remember that correct) you'll get more bux jobs when you increase all aviable jobs that way.

    Another possibility would be to open more airports (class 3, and upgrade them), but then you'd need more bux-sitters and it may disturb your current strategy.

    Absolutely not Gus.. Haha I do the same. I parted a plane and rebuilt it to get rid of the speed upgrade just so they would stay in order. lol

    Lol... RIGHT? I saw the screenshot and got excited because I thought the next event was finally a class 3 one so I could participate.

    That happened to me! (on Android). There were a bunch of Sequoia parts listed, so I just started buying, and it actually took me a while before I realized I had found a glitch, and that I had bought more than were originally listed. I only had 1000 bux at the time, and I spent down to about 500. I wound up with lots of engines and controls, and had to wait for the market to slowly dole out the bodies.

    Way too much afternoon excitement!

    Good luck to both of you. I like the spirit!

    Tell you what 2nd place gets a cloud liner from me.

    Fly your fingers off!

    5 minutes left

    Faye is ahead by 90. It did not look like it updated

    This possibly could be a nail biter.
