I've heard a few people mention that they have this application for iphones and ipod touches. My new record is 104 aircraft landed. Is anyone else close?
 
Mine's 58 I noticed it was the top selling pay-app yesterday as well. This game is sure a winner!
 
Ummm sorry if I'm a little old fashioned.

I use a phone for just that .... a telecommunications device .. not a toy. :173go1:

Since I am 25 years younger than the next oldest person I work with Snuffy... I can completely see your side... however, the iPhone does so much, it is just uncanny to think of the possibilities... if someone has a question about anything, I mean ANYthing, I cn have the answer usually in less than 30 seconds.... it is a neat little tool... Hey, it allows me to go to sim-outhouse on my 5 min breaks at the plant, when not a single other soul can even get reception inside the building!!!

My record is 61. I hope now that they have found it to be popular, they might mix it up a bit with different airport layouts or something.
