Lets say “howMany” is set to 1000, and 1000 results are returned, does that count as 1000 queries billed to my flight aware account, or does it count as just one because i am running the script one time?]

Thanks

Each multiple (or portion) of “15” results actually returned counts as one additional query. See the description of [flightxml.flightaware.com/soap/F … ResultSize](http://flightxml.flightaware.com/soap/FlightXML2/doc#op_SetMaximumResultSize)
