	Just read this. I was here a couple of years ago. Was it an Air Europa 737 that hit the runway lights in somewhere like Poland last year ?

	A particular forum user going by a display name that begins with the numbers "767" has told me that I should fly on this airline because it's cheaper than british charters for flights to spain. I think I can see why it's cheaper!

I think I can see why it's cheaper! watch it roachy! ok it may be cheaper ( and dangerous ) but come on, having the chance to see a flightdeck inflight is the best IFE you'll ever get! and it's rare.
