    Best aircraft cleaner?

    Don't know about the best, but I use Aero Cosmetics products and they work quite well. Plexus for windows/windshield.

    Yes, it will take a long time to determine the optimal solution, not necessarily a feasible solution. If you are willing to accept a solution that is no more than twice the optimum, an easy and efficient approximation scheme exists in this case. Airports would form a metric graph (distance...

    [OT] ID the language these characters belong to?[OT]

    By no means an authoritative answer, but I tried to play detective. Google image search and translation indicated it represents Wenshu Bodhisatva. Original name being Manjushri. It is clearly not Devanagari but somewhat similar, so I looked at Brahmi and Siddham (scripts). The letter seems to be...
