    The flight crew missions make this game fun. For some reason, I did not join any of the flight crews till I was in the level 50's. Now I know what I missed.

    I think your focusing on Class 3 airports is a great strategy. I have all the class 3 airports and use Sequoia's to move between them. I'm trying to get more airplane slots so I use Mexico City as a hub to engage in bux sitting.

    In this present event, I'm just dropping cargo at Jakarta and using the sled to get there non-stop. I'm not helping my team as much as I should on this one but I did make enough bux sitting to get another slot last night.

    The great thing about going for class 3 airports like you are is that, for any event anywhere in the world, it is easy to reposition your fleet. When an event is over, I close the class 1 or 2 airport, open the correct airport for the next event, and reposition the fleet. The Kangaroo M class 1 airplane is my workhorse for Class 1 events and the Aeroeagle M class 2 is my workhorse for class 2 events. If I'm lucky to get a class 3 event, I just throw 30 Sequoia's at it :)

    Get into the events and have fun. TA1 is a great team. If you join TA1, please add me in Game Center.

    Welcome!

    I used to have a lot of asian Class 3's bunched up together. When I had access to Aeroeagles, I expanded into Africa, then South America, then Europe.

    About the flight crew events, until you're about Level 30, don't worry about running huge amounts of jobs. My first "focused" event was Berlin. I used Aeroeagles (and two Pearjets just because...). For the London Concorde Ceremony I used Aeroeagles again (for some reason I didn't use Sequoias).

    Now, I just run a small 18 plane fleet of Cyclones and Sequoias. One Cloudliner P/C pair (just so I can do something when I'm bored).

    I wish I could give you some Mapples so you could work on some near events, but my gifting system still doesn't work :(

    Thanks! I saw the groom with the pink hair, and the scenario just materialized. I looked for a bux job and the businessman looked enough the part...

    I lurk occasionally, and still fling those planes for almost every event. In the last 14 months I've moved across the country, started a new job (in the aerospace industry, how perfect is that?), started a doctoral program, and bought a house. That reduces my free time a bit...

    Yeah same here, a newborn takes a lot of your free time away. Still lurking though, nice to see some familiar names posting here and there.
    Also I feel I have played PP to death, and without any real updates,I'm not enticed to play. Finally I have -a lot- of other great games I wanna try and play through. ;)

    Wait, what?

    Oh my gosh......I didn't notice the new planes. Thanks for the heads up.

    I need to spend a few days bux sitting so I can go shopping :)

    looks like the drone is way better than Santa's sled. Like the design too :)
    It feels weird buying Mapple parts this cheap

    New planes bringing people out of the woodwork

    Love the mapple being available now. The drone is cool but being a class 2 puts it in kind of a no man's land.

    Oh I didn't notice that. :(
    The stats being so much better than Santa sled make more sense.
    It's cheap to run (weight) but who cares about coins.
    It's not very useful then vs an aero C :/

    Edit : this is a bit silly to forget to update the global event the day you have the first content update in years!

    I see that there are new planes. I quickly bought 4 Noki B6's, an X10 Mapple Pro, and a UAV. I'm currently at Level 40, which allows me to own up to 85 airports. Which Airports should I have at Level 40?

    Drone seems to have pretty decent profitability though? Both by time and per flight...

    I was looking at that but I see its a class 2. So I'm thinking the profitability goes out the window if I can carry twice the payload with an Aeroeagle.

    If I have any money left after converting my Kangaroo fleet to a Mapple fleet, I might grab one and do a few test flights.

    Sure glad they added the Mapple.....I was seriously thinking of getting a MacBook so I could get a few......LOL.
