    I was just wondering if this was the first post to TalkBass from 35,000' somewhere between ATL and The Sunflower State. This is the first flight I've been on that has the gogoflight internet service available--it cost me $10 to post this! :cool: (I have a pic that'll I'll post from the ground.)

    Anyway...anyone else ever enjoy TB this, um, high?

    Nope, not I.

    What airline are you on? I just learned Virgin America offers Wi-Fi on flights.

    AirTran. And it's a bit bumpy at the moment (I know this isn't twitter...).

    I've never posted from 35,000 ft, but if I had a laptop I'd nearly always post from the brown room.

    I'm not buying it. If you were really flying in a plane while you posted then the Location field in the header of your post would be changing every few minutes! Liar!

    :D

    You can't really see much out the window, but pretty obviously on a jetliner, and pretty obviously TB.

    That was fun. Browsing TB, checking out some YT Jamerson vids and isos I hadn't had a chance to see...

    Eh?
    My iPod once caught a British Airways onboard WiFi network while I was walking in the street. :confused:
