    lol, yep, only a fourth of my fleet, I'm a cheap b.stard ;)
    But using onlymKinshahshahshahsha (never know how to write this one!), my 10 planes take almost 50 layovers on a run, so it's enough.
    I occasionally push my planes back to Kinsashhshsa when it costs only one Bux. It helps keeping layovers down with the 30 minutes round trip.

    I have a sluggish game too somewhat, try to close all other apps and reboot your phone.
    I also hate what they did with the load/unload button, I dunno why they changed it, it was more responsive before the update.


    Lol, maybe next one, we had a late start... unless you pull 10k jobs out of your damn phone in 2 days! ;)
    Top 5 is doable though.
    The fun goal would be to have ten TA crews in the top 10!


    Top 10
    1 Train2000 540
    2 Vic Sark 390
    3 Nokitano 280
    4 Faye 204
    5 bluebear 200
    6 slightlyN 168
    7 Rebartsch 163
    8 roboroboto 160
    9 Castlepage 87
    10 Liz_B 70

    Top 10 crews
    1 TA (the original) 47000
    2 ? 8400
    3 ? 7300
    4 ? 3600
    5 ? 3200
    6 ? 2500
    7 TA1 2392

    Not bad for a crew launched 10 hours ago!

    I'm having lots of trouble with gamecenter and requests. Hope it gets better soon.

    I thought it was just me ... sits at "loading..." with the spinning circle.
    It was better before when all it would do is log me out of GC for no apparent reason.



    hahahaha I'm cheap also. I put all my Roos away after whatever that last class 1 event, and just didn't want to bring them all back out of the hangar.
    I'll try closing apps & rebooting phone to see if that helps.

    Faye, I just found out that it takes 2 bux to bux boost a mohawk for a kinshasa - zanzibar round trip and 3 bux to boost a mapple. Not sure about kangeroo. I think the no. of ppl on the plane makes a diff as it cost more bux to boost a sequoia for the same time duration. So since you u have so many layovers at kinshasa, you might want to consider clearing the log with bux boost?

    I woke up to find TA1 at #6 and I've dropped to #10 LOL

    Oh dear, I'm cheaper than cheap then :p I only have 1 mapple and 2 mohawks.

    Now I'm going to add our new TA1 members to my gc. Currently I'm at #10 with all numbers below me and names above me.

    Edit: err ... I have trouble with game center. the friends page just keep loading .....

    Here's North's 44,500 bux challenge and the people racing for it. Note I'm compiling the bux numbers from peoples' post so it is not up-to-date. Just adding fun to the bux chase :)

    Faye: 13,653
    SlightlyNorth: 12,389
    Rebartsch: 26,060
    Vic Sark: ~4000 (not doing bux challenge, but issuing 42 plane slots challege :D)
    CastlePage: 8648
    jh3210: 9885 (Edit: added jh)

    If I miss out anyone, please post and I'll update.

    I've tracked down the #2 and #3 flight crews.

    #2 Nimblewiki
    #3 Jayisgames

    Anybody know the other crews in the top 10? If I know the names, I can track them from my Droid and post updates.

    Hi! I'm another longtime lurker coming out of the woodwork to join TA1. :) I've been meaning to delurk and post since the Ottawa event since I got an imbalance of blimp parts and no one to trade with.

    My Gamecenter ID is thisisina, I'll be adding you guys. It will be nice to finally have friends. ;) I'm at level 29, and saving up for plane #20, so I won't be able to keep up with the numbers you guys post, but I'll make a valiant effort to contribute as much as I can.

    P.S. What happens to the Zanzibar jobs I've already completed?

    Welcome to the team! The jobs you did with the old crew will be lost, you'll start over when you join us.

    TA1 is currently 5th but will take over 4th shortly! The other crews won't know what hit them by the time this event is over!! Good job ladies and gents

    Is there any way to see our whole crew in the list? I only see people ranked 13+ & not the top ten.

    Thank you!

    It's baffling that they can't code this game with the simple feature to see your entire crew!?

    I think you'll need a super long scroll to see ALL the people in the TouchArcade crew. Bluebear said in the last global event, he did minimum and was at #30xx or something like that. Bear please correct me.

    The heavyweights are all above me. I'm at #10 with 170 jobs. Coastcat who joined this morning is at #9 with 276 jobs, which is more than 100 jobs. And since her number hasn't updated for a while, I suspect it'll be another big jump when it does update. coastcat, how many planes are you sending? LOL

    At least 3300 people in the old TouchArcade crew, it wouldn't be manageable to see the whole crew in that case, but they could do something to let you see all your GC friends in my opinion.
