The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
The noise was noticeably low throughout the trip, and it hovered around 72 dB to 78 dB during different stages of the flight.
Seats are fairly comfortable (however the headrest is quite hard) with good legroom.
even when listening without earbuds in, I could barely hear the roar of the engine.
