Strange... I keep catching airplanes from Mountain View, CA, over and over again.

It's like an unintended microcosm demonstrating how these types of neat mobile apps get little traction outside the Silicon Valley echo chamber.

This appears to be a bug. It was working last night when I tried it, but now I just get the same Mountain View plane over and over again. Also the planes I made have stopped accumulating stamps.

When it was working I was surprised how few of the stamps were from the bay area.

Same here. ~15 planes caught, the only time I caught one that had a stamp other than mountain view, it had one of my own stamps on it :(

I'm in DC and am catching planes with stamps from all over. Cairo, Copenhagen, Tokyo.
