What is that airplane at Mineta San Jose International Airport that says San Jose State University on it? -

When I was driving by Mineta San Jose Int l, I saw an airplane that said San Jose State University on it. The airplane looked kind of like a 727. Then I noticed that it didn t have any engines. I know that airplane is owned SJSU, but it was old and what was/is doing at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport. Do they still fly that plane? What do they use the plane for?

I laughed at tom c s answer. No wings and no engines and he thinks the Spartan sports teams use it to fly to away games The San Jose State Department of Aeronautics uses it as a kind of lab or classroom to learn about aircraft control systems and avionics. It does not fly, taxi or move in any way. It was either bought or donated many, many years ago.

It is charter plane, still flying for athletes

What are some quot;techyquot; things to do in NYC? -

My girlfriend and I are visiting on 12/11 and we re going on a budget. We re looking for some cheaper things to do, and I m wondering if there s any sort of technology exhibits or cool tech stores to look around in.I found the Sony Wonder Technology Lab so we ll try to get there early to snag some tickets, and I know there s an Apple store up that way as well, is there anything else that might interest us a bit?How about non-tech things to do that won t burn a hole in my pocket?

Sony Wonder is sooo fun!! They probably updated the exhibits, too.Try Nintendo World. You can try out games and stuff before they re released.That s all I know of... good luck!

Sony Wonder Lab, I believe you have to call them for tickets otherwise it s first come, first serve. I believe it s also timed admission.Non Tech: The Christmas windows of department stores on 5th Ave.Staten Island Ferry, it s free.

Liberty sCIENCE Center?Not sure how much that costs if it costs at all.EDIT:I think thats on the border of NJ and NYCI also recommend getting a NY pizza. Esp if you live kind of far away and wont likely be visiting soon.Little Italy and Chinatown are badass.PS have fun! i love NYC

Is there any restaurant near the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall ? -

very litter! I suppose you go to the XiaoBei Lu, just costs you 10 mins to there.that will be many chooise for you!

I believe there s a burrito place right around the corner, but don t go there - you ll only be hungry again an hour later.

Do I need a stamp to mail a letter from NJ to Texas? -

You do not need a stamp to mail it... but if you want it to arrive , best to put a stamp on it. I do hope you are just asking a silly question, if not, well I ll not say how dumb I think you are.

Depends on the weight of the letter, you might need more than one stamp.

Scottsdale Arizona - nice place to live? -

I m thinking of moving to Scottsdale Arizona. Are there any big negatives (other than the heat)? Are the people nice?

Scottsdale aka snottsdale has a reputation that everyone there is rich and plastic.its kinda like the beverley hills of arizona.i live 45 minutes from it, but never met anyone from there =Pso i dont wanna assume anything about the people who live there.but its a richy neighborhood, so look forward to snooty people.there are also celebrities who live there, just so you know...

I love Scottsdale, it s a really nice and a pretty city with plenty to do. There s a lot of neat mountain views and parks there. And there s also tons of upscale shopping districts and restaurants.As for the snobby people. I m sure there are snobby people there, but I ve never experienced this. I live in a different suburb, but visit Scottsdale often. But, another negative about Scottsdale is that it s more expensive to live there than in other suburbs. But, it s the nicest suburb of Phoenix, so I d say that it s worth it.

no one here is rich. at least no one REALLY rich would want to. most people here just like to pretend they are.. definately fake. pretend nice. some jealous trailer-trash girls like to call it snottsdale or snobbsdale BUT there s really no difference in the quality of people wherever you go in arizona. they re all the same. and you should know that scottsdale has been named most miserable place on earth by south park..... (look it up) the creators must have had and EXTREMELY bad time here once.. hahh.....other than that there s nothing unique about scottsdale.. the desert landscape is ugly (in my opinion), it s littered with the same retail chains you ll find everywhere else in the world 3 except for a few remaining mom/pop shops who sell the same over-priced garbage turquoise indian jewelry (made in china) to tourists.the only thing good about it is that it s a lot cleaner than LA.. but that s not saying much..... the nightlife is terrible.. the clubs SUCK and you ll always run into the same group of annoying trampy girls (or gay guys.. don t ask) who scoot around from bar to bar every night.Let me put it this way, if you LOVE shopping malls, cheap quality food, unnecessarily bitchy elderly women, pot-head bosses and suckers w/ scorpions in them.. you ll be in heaven.....OH and did i forget to mention it s the self-proclaimed cougar capital of the country?? ..(NOT a good thing)..... sun-burnt, plastic-surgery nightmare bitches.............

I live in Scottsdale. I m still a nice girl from the midwest though. Yes, the night life has a lot of the fake, plastic girls and spray tanned, tight tshirt guys. IT s hit and miss though for the night life. Some spots are real chill, you just gotta feel it out. While yes there are some people here like that, not everyone is like that. Most people here were not born here, lots of people move to Scottsdale form other places. I would recommend to not move to south Scottsdale, it s not as nice. Just like any big city there will be rich snobs and normal people. It s a great place to live. The weather is perfect.

A lot of snowbirds live in Scottsdale during the winter. A lot of retired people. I lived there 10 years ago. It is a nice community. Scottsdale and Paradise Valley are two best areas. Don t understand the fake part except there is a lot of money there. I am an older person so my point of view is different from yours. The scenery and the desert landscaping are beautiful if you buy a house. Home prices are half of California prices. Everyone drives pretty fast on the streets except the seniors who drive too slow. The Airport is very nice too. The Indian culture is interesting.

yes Arizona people Scottsdale people are fake.My ex in laws live there and they have lots of money and think everything is about them and they are perfect people and Arizona is very dry and it sucks.Sorry to be rude but I don t like Arizona.I love my home in Indiana!!!!
