US Airways is selling three different art prints on its company store site for $105 a piece. The author of the blog suggests that the "photos" are really screen shots from MS Flight Simulator. I think I agree. Click the link, and judge for yourself!

Just joking, don't be offended.
However, I guess they are pretty shitty screenshots. Some of the screenshots on this forum are way better than those are. What's up with US Airways?

The plane ended up taking-off a few hours later and arriving in Florida safely, AirTran could have easily delayed the flight, instead, of trying to unsafely push a departure and waste 3 trucks of de-icing fluid. Remember, 1 de-icing truck typically lasts 3 days!

I mailed this to US Airways. I'll let you know if I get a reply !
Dear Sirs,
Your US Airways company store lists three pictures available at $105 each entitled "Slick Arrival", "Arrival in the Phoenix area" and "St Maarten Arrival".
I was wondering if you were aware that these pictures are screenshots from Microsoft Flight Simulator, either version 9 or 10 and as such represent the ability of the "artist" to hit the "Print Screen" button on their keyboard and not much else !
$105 each !! This matter is the subject of considerable mirth amongst the aviation enthusiast community.
On an entirely different matter, my hearty congratulations to Captain Sullenberger and his crew for their actions and skills in the icy waters of the Hudson River.If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

Well, I received a very pleasant reply from Todd Vigil at the US Airways store. He explained all about the prints and the high quality material they are printed on. They are apparently around one third of the price of similar products elsewhere and are very popular sales items...especially among pilots !
After the passing of a couple of mails he also very kindly offered me a 15% discount on any future order.
I was particularly impressed with the speed of Todd's reply and the fact that the main man replied rather than leaving it to an underling.
(thinks???) US Air fly from Heathrow now....I wonder if the 15% would extend to ?.....naaaah, probably not !!If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !
